Like, seriously now. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE DEFINITION OF HARM REDUCTION IS?
"Harm reduction" is providing clean needles. It's making sure they don't trip while walking through the fire. It's providing a less harmful drug so that they don't self medicate with the more harmful drug.
It is not generally "putting out the fire."
Now. Again. Harm reduction is not sufficient, but it's not _meant_ to be sufficient. It is a way of reducing harm in the meantime.
