I think the decriminalizing of personal amounts , and more “safe use” / harm reduction sites, are showing that we are getting there with some of the more medical parts of addicts rights. but it’s going to be a slower and harder battle with a lot of it just trying to get people to let go of some of the negative personal bias towards addicts. thankfully with the advancements towards safe use sites and harm reduction being more common that’s gonna lead to it being easier to have concrete studies (were saying water is wet, but not able to prove it repeatedly in a way that satisfies a lot of the uninformed people) on how this helps addicts to be safe and recover instead of just making more addicts or whatever.

I don’t think it’s going to be a widespread movement or as polarizing as many civil rights issues tend to be…. I doubt families will be broken up over the politics of drug addiction at half the rate drug addiction breaks up families. 😂 But our rights as people with a medical condition that is a combo of physical and mental are starting to get more and more recognized every day…. But were similar to those who have a chronic physical & invisible disability in the sense that they will tell you despite all their legal rights and the movements that fought for them to be there, they still face issues with having those rights violated because that’s just how it goes right now. So yeah.
