Here's how I look at it.. deserve is kind of a tricky word because I don't think "hey you junkie, you should be poor because youre scum", I think "hey you made some really bad decisions and dont give a **** about anyone so you deserve to suffer the consequences of your actions".

Also, I assume we agree that all people are equal (generally speaking). Why do you think it's justified to prop up one unrelentingly negligent person who doesnt care at the cost of damaging multiple people who are equals? Why is their betterment more valuable than the multiple people they are harming?

The difference between the junkie and the cancer patient is that the cancer patient isn't actively causing intentional harms to others and themselves.

Edit: and likewise, 20+ people I know and went to school with have died from ODs since highschool (my entire highschool was only 400 kids).
