People don't use drugs because they make them feel shlt. Quite the contrary. Look up the anecdotal evidence of the effects of heroin use.

Most of the addicts would not be prostitutes, theives, etc by choice they do it to avoid the withdrawal symptoms more than to experience the highs.

Why would he need to rob lawnmowers if he could fund his habit? Same as the builder who decides to chuck 8 pints down his neck every night. As log as it's affordable, it isn't a problem. Use in the construction industry was more to do with pain relief than getting monged out of their skulls. But it was rife. Much as cocaine use is in the entertainment industry (among others).

Can you not read.

The smackhead who has just been caught cooking up whilst hiding under an upturned wheelbarrow got caught so now hes back to doing what he does best, robbing lawn mowers.

I know plenty of the old fellas i have worked with in the past have trouble with pain on a daily basis and im getting there myself but i didnt see them taking smack day in day out and i cant see me doing it either. mind you i did know a hod carrier who hit the fiery jack hard on a daily basis so maybe drug abuse is rife in the building game after all.

So why reward the ones that do?

You have a very strange notion of reward.

And if they had an income sufficient to support their habit they would not need to resort to theft or prostitution.

It's not exactly a secret that withdrawal symptoms exist, they made that choice when they decided to start using.

That would not be fair on the sex addicts.

Remember the 90's construction boom? If you got kicked of one site, there were 20 others waiting for you.
