Casualty in the War on Drugs

Friend of mine was arrested for possession of cocaine. Cops raided his apartment, nailed him for the coke and another friend of mine for weed and paraphernalia. My friend was facing prison time and had to deal with court dates for ~6 months. This guy was a grad student instructor, a PhD candidate, and a genuinely good dude who just liked to cut loose. After half a year of struggling with the mountain of bullshite he took his life a short time ago, the last person who talked to him told me he was just devastated about his situation and was convinced he was going to prison.
Just wanted to share another success tale about the valiant War on Drugs.

Tell your friend Chef it's going to be okay.
ETA: shite. I misread it. I didn't know he committed suicide. I'm sorry.

We all make bad life choices that we must pay for and he was no exception. Blaming "the war on drugs" is a bit misguided on your part.

Cowards way out

Sorry for your friend but are you saying its the cops, courts and governments fault?

Prayers to you, him, his family, etc.. Sorry for your loss.
Why would the popo raid his apt for simple possession? He piss someone off? Either way it sucks.

Very sorry your friend is gone, but the blame shifting here seems off to me.

Sounds like he followed up a bad but recoverable decision with an irreversible one.

Raid = holding serious weight.
Posted on 7/30/14 at 9:18 pm to ManBearTiger
So does he have any coke left?
Posted on 7/30/14 at 9:18 pm to ManBearTiger
Sorry for his death,but if you're going to mess with that shite and you get caught you're going to have to deal with the man.
Posted on 7/30/14 at 9:19 pm to ManBearTiger
Man sorry to hear that
Posted on 7/30/14 at 9:19 pm to ManBearTiger
Terrible the grief that falls on a regular guy that does a little drugs compared to a lifelong criminal. The system is set up to protect criminals and marginalize regular people. Sorry your friend took his life , was probably a good guy. And to think the pieces of shite that keep on stealing from society.

So your friend had illegal drugs and had to deal with the consequences? He must have had way more than just personal use. To call someone that takes their own life due to the stress of a drug conviction a "casualty in the war on drugs" is absurd. Sorry your friend couldn't handle the weight of his own decisions

wow, tough to hear that.
Posted on 7/30/14 at 9:27 pm to ManBearTiger
Am I the only one that doesn't feel sympathy for a guy that had to deal with 6 fricking months of drug courts so he took his own life? Man up

Sorry to hear that, dude.
Had the same thing happen to a friend of mine a few years back.
Him and another friend of mine were caught with some serious weight (ganja), and were looking at 7 or so years.
One is in prison now. The other killed himself with a bunch of blues.
