I don't think "drugs are evil", but I don't think that everybody is capable of moderation, and some chemicals (eg. heroin) are basically impossible to use responsibly. But careful use of controlled/illegal substances has honestly made my life better at times. I know, I just made a DARE officer somewhere out there cry.  as usual, i totally agree with you and you worded this better than i could. but i'll also say that i'm glad i aged out of the years where i did all my "mind expansion", or else i'd probably be like reverend jim or exidor right now. | |

You want to help them, but they don't want it, and it hurts you to watch them destroy themselves, and be helpless. i did play caretaker once, when i lived in nyc and my roommate became a cokehead. it was one of the hardest trials of my life. i even called all our friends and had an intervention for her. and like a loser i bought snacks and soda for everyone like it was a party. 
i don't know if i could ever do that again, but i'm glad i did it then. she totally turned her life around and she's doing great now, i'm very proud of her.  I woulda done the same thing.....
Did she change after your intervention??? Thats cool. My brother is a heroin addict. Theres nothing I can do. Jail for a yr didn't even change him. Yup a whole yr, and rite back to shooting up. It breaks my heart. | |

If he doesn't stop using his parents will throw him out of the house..which i think is so wrong as he will end up a lot worse. His father is an asshole though and he fucked up his head when he was a kid. | |

It breaks my heart. i remember putting out bags of chips while people were on their way over for the intervention, and my druggie roommate was like "what's this for" and i was all THEY'RE NOT FOR YOU!!!
i had to finally call my roommate's parents and have them come get her. i think getting away from the big city helped her kick her problem. that's sad about your brother. i wish there was a recipe for saving someone from their addiction.  | |

His father is an asshole though and he fucked up his head when he was a kid. I don't know WHY my brother turned out how he did. We had a great childhood.....I constantly sit and wonder and all I can come up with is how my mom always seemed to get him out of trouble, and make excuses for him, and he was always sooooo perfect. I dunno though. I guess ya can't blame it ALL on the parents.
I don't know what to say about your cousin.....my brother NEVER got kicked out, and he ended up STEALING my dads oxycontin as he was on his DEATHBED and selling it on the streets. After my dad dies, my moms house got raided, a greiving widow, and my brother went to jail. Sooooo, sometimes I think it may be best to kick them out, I don't know. Anx: You kill me. That is a TRUE frined, that you actually ratted her out tp her parents.  | |

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said: Um, guys. This thread is supposed to be discouraging people
Thats why I posted my cautionary tale earlier in the thread.....social responsibility, then social agenda..... 
Seriously, though, I cringe watching and reading news stories about how drugs are once again killing New Orleans (my hometown)....and now some folks are starting to realize that the war on drugs is a farce...that instead of making things better with "just say no" and gazillions of dollars thrown into building more prisons, things have gotten nightmarishly worse..... We can only hope that at some point soon this thing can be gotten under control..... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

He always flirted with me and was really mad crazy over me and I thought if I ever left my psycho boyfriend, I'd like to hook up with him. He was so cute and so nice. Haven't seen him since those days. Went to the gay bar I used to frequent during the time we met and he was there. He looked awful. Instantly I could tell he was an addict
He was the one to notice me first actually and he yelled out my name and I turned around and had to pretend like I wasn't ready to faint. He used to be so cute and now he's all marked up in his face, he's sickly thin and to top things off he's homeless. He was telling me about this boyfriend of his that expects him to pay for everything and I'm like this dude knows your situation and he does not love you if he expects you to give him money! It is just so sad to see someone throw their damn life away. If you are a drug addict and you are reading this in a moment of clarity, PUT THAT SHIT DOWN! IT WILL KILL YOU! Please, get help put down the needle, put down the spoon. RIP Johnathon Melvoin "Waiting to be banned" | |

i've seen firsthand how evil drugs can be. both my parents were addicts--my dad ended up kicking his habits and the lifestyle he was living, but my mom never got the chance to even consider to kick hers. the worst thing about it is another relative of hers was the one that gave her the cocaine that she OD'd on...she couldn't get over the fact that she was the one that led my mom to an early grave, so she buried it in drinking and eventually drank herself to death.
nowadays, another friend of mine is hooked on alcohol. he's tried to get himself clean, but keeps on relapsing from time to time. i wish i knew where he was, so i'd know if he's doing alright. strangest of all, people wonder why i get pissed at them the few times they've offered me a joint or beer and i turn them down two or more times (and they know of my situation in regards to my folks).  | |
