Does a person have the right to use drugs?
- Human rights are based on the “inherent dignity of the human being” – dignity which is lost in the slavery of addiction. Ask any recovering addict.
- Drug use is one of the primary forces that perpetuate poverty and homelessness.
- Substance abuse is presently responsible for or associated with more than 80% of domestic abuse cases – whose rights are protected there?
- Drugs are one of the major contributing factors to prostitution, primarily among poor and addicted women.
