Was re-reading some of what was written here, and think that perhaps I gave the false impression that I am "pro-drug". While, it is true, I have done some stupid things in the past, and will probably do some stupid things in the future, drugs will not be a part of that decision making process. I am old enough to have seen first hand what drug abuse can do to someone's life, and know at least 3 people who have overdosed on some substance or other and died as a result. I know someone else who was killed for his drugs, and at least one person who died in a alcohol related accident. Also know others who are ruining their lives right now because of drugs--it is sad that it cannot be stopped, but someone in that lost state of addiction cannot be reasoned with.

While it is true that some drugs can be beneficial (when prescribed by a doctor) there are many drugs that have no benefit to human life, and are prone to abuse. Even drugs prescribed by a doctor can be dangerous if abused.

In summary, I apologise to this website for any pro-drug commentary I may have written. Don't be a statistic, don't do drugs.
