Not always. And the people who take those drugs usually understand what they are doing to themselves and are ready to obtain the drugs by any means necessary.And because people who start doing those usually don't get addicted to it, lose whatever life they have, and then go on to cause pain and sorrow to others in the world. Oh wait they do...
Taking drugs is nothing like killing someone. Taking drugs like crack and meth hurts yourself but it only has the potential to hurt others. In the end, no matter how much meth you've smoked you make your own decision. Its not like you take one hit of crack, your soul falls out, your teeth turn brown, your parents disown you, and your dog dies.If they know what they're getting into it is then permissible? I know what I'd be getting into if I killed someone, I'd have an idea of the possible consequences, so.... permissible? Because I would know what it is that I'd be getting into?
Selling heroin to a heroin addict certainly benefits the heroin addict. And people wouldnt take these drugs if they gained nothing from it but meth mouth and crippling addictions. These drugs make people that feel bad feel good and escape from the hardships of life. Despite what you may have learned in DARE drugs dont just harm people. Heroin has been used successfully as an anesthetic and is stilled prescribed as an analgesic in the UK, (cant think of any use for crack other than escapism), and meth is a big part of what keeps the economies of some east asian countries such as Thailand up and running by allowing people to work longer and harder. They dont just cause destruction, ruin, and pain. I agree with Snorunt that being a drug dealer is an amoral profession. You talk about it like drug dealers are sticking needles in little kids arms. They arent forcing anything on anyone.My claim and statement is that, yeah if you sell those drugs to people, then yeah I consider you a bad person because what you do benefits no one and causes nothing but destruction, ruin, and pain.
Whether or not selling hard drugs is immoral isnt what this thread is about anyway.
