I believe that as long as you can do more good than bad in your life, then youre a positive fixture that needs to be here. There's too many bad people in the world, we need a few more good ones, for sure.

Amen to this ^^theSWPK

oh yeah !

that's what this forum is about -- maybe we can change their perceptions of us.

one day we will be liberated.

Agreed, Chipper!!!  Hopefully we will be able to change the masses perception of us....but I think we all have to change the perception we have of ourselves, too!

I really believe that we can all take little steps to do this.  Simple things like not referring to ourselves in derogatory terms and not calling ourselves "dirty" when we have  opiates on board.  We ourselves have to change our own view of our use and stop apologizing fornour need for opiates.  As long as we are living a good life and not hurting anyone by our use, why should we feel bad about using?  And if our using gets out of hand, and we need maintenance, then so fucking what!  There are a ton of things worse then needing opiates!!

The next time some douchebag calls us a dirty junky or other name, lets correct them.  Let's stop putting up with the name calling, the judgement and the stigma.  We deserve better simply because we are human beings!!!

I also believe that
CPPers can help with this
By not looking down upon those
Who use "street" drugs

Being under-medicated
Is a big issue
Perhaps those of us who use
B/c we are under-medicated
Can be helped
To be freed of the stigma
By those who get their drugs
From a legal dealer
Aka a pharmacist

I agree 100% with everything you said man!  I believe the time will come where we can get whatever opioid prescribed legally by a doctor, including heroin ampoules.  I don't have a good sense of time frame as I believe it is the last civil rights cause that will be won in this country.  But first it has to become seen as one before any real progress can be made.  Regardless with the acceleration of social and legal change due to the ever increasing amount of social media and communications and the effect it has on people changing and evolving out of old hateful ideas, I think it will come in the next 20-30 years.  Sadly I will be in my final years most likely by then, if not dead already.  But the times they are a changing'.

I see a lot of people hoping that one day, opiates will become legalized or that they will be able to get heroin/other strong opiates from a doctor.
I honestly think the best wet could ever hope for would be decriminalization.
Prescribing strong opioids for injection just would not fly.

 Too high of a chance of fatal overdose, even with naloxone distribution, education, and safe injection rooms. Doctors do not like to be in any way responsible for preventable deaths/injuries.

I would love to see heroin maintainance, as some countries permit, take off, but I just don't see that in a country, the US, with such a criminal view of addiction.

I agree with everything SPWK is saying about the obstacles. But, my hope is that with decriminalization (and less stigma/judgement that will eventually follow it), maybe (i know its a big "maybe"), down the road the us will follow other country's practices.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

whats the simplest most direct easy way to respond to someone calling/being disparaging of junkies.  what COMBINATION of words in what order can be said to enlighten them fastest/easiest (fastest way to enlightenment on the subject is an injection but i digress)

ALSO everytime i hit the post button im taken to the forum topic page instead of the thread i just posted in, really inconvenient, is it just me>?

that is easily fixed and is a setting in your profile: Profile > Look and Layout > tick Return to topic after posting.

I urge you to become familiar with the other options on that page as you have censorship options, too ... amongst other things.
