The hospitalizations of addicts with oozing sores and unhealed abrasions are at a crisis point. With all the people coming and going through downtown on their way to work or visiting Seattle, to pass group after group of people bent over passed out or smoking fumes off a piece of tinfoil, it is something that needs changing. Arrests won't help, would detox and treatment? Idk, but its bad. Its been bad. Its depressingly bad.

The problem is they expect all of these addicts to recover the same way and that’s just not realistic. If they get caught with a little dope, then they send them to a rehab where they are detoxed cold turkey and just go to N/A meetings where 95% of them end up relapsing. They should offer the person other options of rehabilitation…like methadone, suboxone, etc. (which have a much higher rate of long term success).

How about making drug possession a felony again and stop with all the "drugs gave people mental illness" crap? Before I got sober, I couldn't have used that excuse. The courts would've laughed in my face.

@mandyjuelz 5 ай бұрын

So overpopulate jails and make tax payers pay tons of money to incarcerate non violent offenders that get caught with a small amount of dope? Addiction is not a criminal problem, it’s a mental health problem.

@mandyjuelz 5 ай бұрын

But those clean needles have lowered the spread of hep c by 30%. And tax payers don’t have to spend as much to hospitalize and treat these ppl as long as the spread is decreasing. Honestly, they shouldn’t be using…but you also shouldn’t be getting pregnant unless you knew you could fully afford and care for that child in every aspect. I guess nobody is perfect.

It's not even about Drug overdoses that we care about, it's PUBLIC DRUG USE. To focus only on drug overdoses does little to nothing to help any of us law-abiding taxpayers to change the perception and experience of the downtown area.

It's not that simple. When were you last in Seattle? I've lived here 20 years and since 2020 much of the unhoused people with addictions have moved to these few "hot spots," mostly in downtown. That leaves 99% of the rest of Seattle to thrive, as it is doing to one degree or another. But yes, as Sara Nelson said, these hot spots have to be dealt with and now.
