I absolutely agree. However addiction is ugly and people deserve respect addict or not. Love the person, not the addiction. As a pharmacist labeling someone as an "addict" and judging is easy. Seeing them as a person who needs help fighting against a huge problem is hard. However if you pharmacist isn't going to help you battle addiction who do you turn to?
Still when I hear someone stealing their own grandmother's medicine to fuel an addiction it makes me sad and angry 😡. That's why it does give me some guilty pleasure of serves you right when they get a tube inserted somewhere....unpleasant
