I struggle with addiction issues. Mainly opiates and marijuana, but have abused tons of drugs. IMO the gvt needs to stop trying to fight drug use by making arrests and demonizing it. They need to just put info out there of their dangers like they're doing with tobacco and have a hands off approach to them, while spending money on just helping addiction. Of course this will never happen, but the current approach is obviously not working. I think locking people up for drug-related reasons is a business. It wouldn't make sense for them to stop what they're doing, they make $$$ from it. I am against pretty much all drugs, but i do use them at times because of my cravings and such(i'm trying to be 100% sober). If i could go back i would have never touched any mind-altering substance i don't think the majority of people benefit at all from them.
