Because we clearly disagree about a lot of things, and I’m not going to speak to a stranger over the internet who thinks all addicts, including me, are losers who deserve to be shot, and that my own mother deserved to kill herself when you know so little about her. 

I’m not as upset as this comment sounds. I’m just answering your question. There’s no point in me talking to people who spread hate. Instead of wasting my time getting upset about what some stranger has to say, I just stay in the reddit communities where I get along with people. 

This isn’t a subreddit I have ever had a desire to browse. I only commented on this post because one of my fellow opiate buddies sent me it. I thought I’d try to help answer your question on “why do people treat addicts with love and not hate”, but very quickly it became clear that you’re just suffering from childhood trauma that was caused by someone who just so happened to use drugs as well. 

Considering you say it was just weed your mother was smoking, I promise you, she is just an abuser. It has nothing to do with the drugs. If she quit smoking weed, she would still be abusive. Meth, heroin, crack, etc., that’s a whole different story...
