Only in this day and age can functional heroin addicts maintain employment. This is not an evolutionary good thing but props on gaming a broke system.

Agree with one caveat.

If your life spirals out of control...its your responsibility to get help and to fix it. Not tax payers, not employer, not insurance...your responsibility.

I'm all for a little party, if you know what I mean, but I believe many folks are failing to consider some behind the scenes aspects. For one, generally speaking, what it takes to get these street drugs into peoples' hands is quite often a pretty negative blight on society as a whole, i.e. cartel wars in Mexico and spilling over into our country that result in a great deal of death and other violence. Not to mention that same element that reaches into basically every corner of the U.S.....and again the death and violence that comes with it.

That's just one of many "side effects".

It’s not the drug that’s the issue ^^^^^
It’s the way our society/govt deal with it, which is the premise of the dudes book.
You have failed to realize his point.

Well, you should note that it wasn't the dude's book I was directly commenting on. The thread evolved into peoples' personal perspectives on the subject....to which a particular poster's own commentary I was replying.
