As a teenager I experimented with marijuana (sucks), magic mushrooms (fun but not my thing), ecstasy (horrifying), and acid (idiotic)...
Coming to China I once again experimented with ecstasy (it was ridiculously cheap) and then hashish (not a fan)...
I was young and stupid... Had I ODed it would have served me right to die...
My sister was (and still is) an addict... She has ODed numerous times on cocaine and heroin... As a student in university I was called to the hospital to sign papers because she was ODing... When I suggested letting nature take its course the doctors were horrified.. As were my parents....
Needless to say, she survived and is now destroying the lives of her children.. Although her drug addict husband shares equal blame...
Once again, I was an idiot as a younger man and my death would not have been a loss... I am fortunate that I have risen above it...
I drink quite frequently... But rarely get drunk...I won't say never...It happens.. I once proved to my wife that I wasn't an addict by going sober (and quitting cigarettes) for a year.... It was not that difficult... For an individual with will power...
Am I the right person to judge a drug addict???? It doesn't matter...
We all judge...
I salute all who overcome their weakness... But I'll never shed a tear for an addict...
As for China intentionally flooding America, that's ridiculous... China executes drug dealers and smugglers.. Regardless of their nationality....
Fentanyl is a vital product for many pharmaceuticals... Don't like Mexico's shitty laws dealing with its purchase and usage??? Take it up with Mexico....
Or better yet - guard your damn border....
Oh..And educate your children in the dangers of drugs... It's not easy, I know... My mother went to prison for dealing speed as a seventeen year old... Never allowed drugs in the house or around her children... But also refused to speak to us about her experiences or the dangers... Thought keeping silent would stop us from using...
Finally..Of course there isn't anything wrong with adults drinking alcohol... As long as they can control it... I come from a family of alcoholics...Some held the bottle, others let the bottle hold them...
