It's ignorance or a lack of understanding that addiction is not a choice. For ppl to stop taking drugs, there has to be a reward. And the reward has to be greater than the drug itself. Sometimes the reward can be as simple as compassion.

I just don't understand how a caution by the Gardai or diversion onto some place that doesn't exist (19 in patient detox beds, worn out drug services) is an acceptable solution to drug sanctions. I mean if prison is not a deterrent, how will a caution be? 🤔

It seems to me that this diversion scheme only applies to the recreational drug user who a caution might divert from drugs. What about people like me who need treatment? Where will they be diverted to @LeoVaradkar

My question to @LeoVaradkar is where exactly are we diverting people who use drugs to? Because the red tape to access an impatient detox bed makes it near impossible as there are only 19 to 18.000+ opioid users. This is a human rights issue.

It was great to join the #RecoveryWalk in Dublin today. I saw a lot of friends there from all over Ireland. The sun shone and it was a great day to support people in addiction recovery. #InclusiveAddictionRecovery Couldn’t tag @sambo333 in the photo - safe trip back to Belfast!

Very interesting study @TheLancetPH showing heightened risk of mortality with drug disorders links to incarceration, low income and social immobility. #classgenocide #Economicmassacre

A study recently published in @TheLancetPH suggests that drug-related deaths increased in counties where incarceration rates rose and household incomes fell, drug-related deaths increase.

As an addict in recovery I think addicts themselves should #SpeakUp about the fact that it is an illness and that this won't be accepted to be treated this way. Government have an ethical obligation now #supportdontpunish #radicalshift2020 #addictshaverights

Backwards? Forwards? No idea.. 😁 Doesn't matter, art is art! 😊 Second attempt at oils We'll see!! I'm more used to watercolours. Much more realistic effect can be achieved with oils though I think. 💞

The Irish government shouldn't have been investigating an investigation that they were the perpetrators and enablers of in the first place. The whole commission of investigation was fundamentally flawed, and now we have found mass anomalies in Seanrossabbey Mother and baby home.
