Rehab only works if the person wants to get clean. Otherwise it’s just incarceration. There needs to be more support for those that want to get clean, but decriminalizing drugs also has to be done so that they can feel safe to seek treatment without fear of punishment.
People are probably more likely to call for their help if they don’t have to fear being thrown in jail.
You can’t force treatment on someone who doesn’t want help and expect results. Just like throwing them in jail until they’re sober doesn’t stop them from using as soon as they get released.
Not ruining people’s lives further with jail and criminal records for personal use is better than what we were doing before, even if it’s not perfect.

I don’t think he hates gay people. But his music is controversy, that’s its selling point. And I think your last sentence is spot on. For your typical “masculine” man, being called gay is an insult. It shouldn’t be, but unfortunately that’s the way it is.
Eminem has a lot of homophobic lyrics. Think you’re going to get him removed? Music has always pushed the boundaries of what’s acceptable. Sometimes that’s a good thing, other times it’s not. But I think an artists freedom of expression overrides your feelings.
Well trash has been removed from the sidewalk.
Unfortunate that an innocent homeless man had to die though.
