I'm still trying to wrap my head around 'post truth politics'

in regards to the video, what a waste

I'm not trying for a cheap shot here in suggesting that affordable, accessible drug treatment would have prevented this suicide. I know nothing of the circumstances of this man's death. For all I know he could be a rapist or murderer who couldn't fathom 25 years in prison. Or he could have been carrying 20 oz of weed in the wrong state or have 2 strikes while driving a stolen car and get sentenced to the same prison term if convicted. Or he completely fucked out of his head and scared shitless by the situation he found himself in.

Lawd help anyone in North America who ends up with a drug addiction and doesn't have the privilege of being born into an upper-middle class family who can afford a treatment facility that lasts longer than a few weeks.
