“Most often, we think of harm reduction in connection with drug use, but drug use most often comes out of other struggles in a person’s life. Needs not being met. And in that way, addiction is frequently a symptom of a failure of society to care for each other. When we build each other up and create a society that supports and maintains everyone; when our society meets our needs, the struggles that can cause addiction and crime are minimized. When we take care of each other, without judgment, we free ourselves to live more fulfilling lives."
