An "Inconvenient Truth"...

[M.T. Pockets]

I hope he gets help, I hope everyone with a chemical dependency gets help weather it's alcohol, marijuana or whatever else people put inside themselves. Not good for you, your family or society.

As for hurting other people, I've got to disagree that intake doesn't hurt anyone else. Talk to your local law enforcement and they'll tell you that a large percentage of theft/burglary and armed robbery is by addicts searching for their next fix. An awful lot of domestic violence is caused by alcohol abuse. I'm a firefighter and I sure didn't appreciate the time I ended up in the middle of a live meth lab. A lot of tax dollars and time go into the bad side of alcohol & chemical abuse and how can you determine how much society pays for health care for these problems. I can't count how many times I've been called to accident scenes caused by drivers under the influence, and it's not only them who get hurt, I've seen many sober people killed by people under the influence. So yes, alcohol and drugs do hurt other people besides the user.

Lastly, I just don't want to see anyone hurt themselves or anyone else. Your life is worth more than that.
