He did move . He lives in Evergreen , CO now . He came to a Barnes Noble in Denver and talked a little about it . They are still building his house and he said he has trouble writing without a dedicated space , so slightly more delays . <| sep |> I don ' t know if you ' ve ever had the chance to read the book Chasing the Scream , I haven ' t read it myself , but I ' ve seen a number of articles and interviews about it . Basically the problem in most cases isn ' t that people are addicted , it is that they have shitty lives , they are disconnected from other human companionship , and are unloved , and full of anxiety .

I ' m not trying to say we should go to prohibition or start a new just say no program . But I am saying heroin is bad , and we need to get people off heroin . The best way to do that I think is to love them and reconnect them to friends , family , society , jobs , and culture , if they start to live like normal humans again then for most people the desire to ease the pain of a shitty life goes away . Getting rid of fentanyl doesn ' t change the fact that kids in Canada are doing heroin .
