re: Question re: Hard Drug Use:

Well 2/3 ain’t bad

I smoked a lot of weed back in my younger days, but that was it. I never had the urge to do anything more than weed. I don’t really understand why people have to do more than weed anyways.

Why do people need to smoke weed?

So if you or your loved ones are reliant on pain meds advise them to stockpile if they can

Or attempt to get off of them provided they don't have a terminal illness like cancer

Nancy Reagan was right. If you stay in school and off the dope, you'll probably make out just fine.

Deviate from that advice at your peril.

She may have been right about that but consider that advice came from a prodigious pipe smoker. (Allegedly)

I was around cocaine some but never participated. I had already seen people I knew stealing from they momma’s purses to buy it, young füt was wise enough to be scared off by that behavior.

So no first-hand knowledge and I don’t know that I know any casual users.

Back in the day I did crack and meth a few times, but they weren’t my drug of choice. Never tried heroin bc I always knew I’d probably like that one a bit too much and get myself into trouble.

The hardest I’ve gone to is the Colombian powder and that was fun but not addicting for me. The day after doing it I didn’t want to touch it for a while. I haven’t done it in years and probably won’t ever again.

I had a friend that accidentally tried crack. He never did it again but said it was fricking wild.

That’s all I got. Surprisingly being born and raised in Mississippi I don’t have any meth head acquaintances. Most drug addicts I know got hooked on Xanax or pain pills. Xanax is the worst imo

My stepson is a junkie. He called a few days ago saying he was once again getting evicted for non-payment of rent and was living with no utilities due to being shut off for the same reason.

This is a 39 yr. old who just can't seem to get his shite together and has been using since his mid 20's. He's lost great paying jobs due to his drug habit and has burned so many bridges over the years that he is basically bad news in his preferred line of work.

As for me and his mother, we are plumb out of sympathy at this point in time because he's living a vicious cycle that keeps repeating itself with the same eventual outcome. He chose that lifestyle, so his failures are all on him. He had a good upbringing, graduated Jesuit High and LSU and was a gifted student academically. Poor personal choices as an adult have led to this.

His days of returning to the house are over after the last time when he was here for 9 months and did absolutely nothing in all that time until I said make some money and get out or he'd find himself on the street with no money-----either way, he was getting out.

I don’t like cocaine but I love the smell of it.
