ok, we're finally getting some good discussion here, pro and con...good.
none of my post is represented as 'facts" for gods sakes, just random thoughts, as in "I think there's an unbalance..." and " I simply don't see how...", etc.
unfortunately i have several alcoholics in my family so i am more than familiar with substance abuse.
hell, what's more addictive than alcohol?
i don't pretend to be immune from it, merely making a comment that judicious use of prescribed meds can help a person through crises in his/her life and it seems many people are turning away from the very thing that can possibly help them simply out of a heightened fear of addiction....and i'm questioning this choice.
