with too much politics these days i think we need a moral question instead.
(this is not a legal question, obviously it's illegal. and i'm not asking if it should be legal or illegal, just asking if it's moral)
If you have a family member who's severely addicted to drugs, like think hardly recognizable, homeless living on the streets, "beyond help".
Is it moral to kidnap them, lock them in a room in your house, and force them to detox?
and let's assume their detox is confirmed non-fatal, so nothing that will kill them just cause suffering.
I dont have any family or friends in this state, but have long though that this is what i'd do. just make a prison cell in my basement and keep them there fed and healthy for a month or so. long enough to detox and hopefully avoid an instant relapse.
This is okay only if you wear squid games outfit and speak only with a voice scrambler.
Really though there are other ways, but yours is most effective. You can always make a fake suicide threat which forces them to be evaluated by a hospital. 72 hours clean right there.
If it were my son or daughter I’d shackle them to the floor black snake moan style. If they are really put rippin’ and runnin’ there is nothing worse you can do than what they are already doing to themselves.
That being said there is no way to prevent a relapse besides changing their mind. You can go to prison for years and come out an instant user if you don’t want to stay clean.
