Comment on Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome?

I do have compassion for people who die of diseases or mental illnesses and stuff. But drug use I really don’t have sympathy for.

Okay, that’s not really compassion. People don’t need to deserve or earn compassion.

Where do you draw the line between mental illness and substance abuse disorder? Are you aware that the latter is considered by pretty much everyone on the planet, to be included in the former?
