That could almost be true. Alot of people, don't have a chose, the drug triggers somthing dormant in there brain, and once that happens, it's almost impossible to quit without proper help. I do agrea with the fact, that a particular person chooses how and when to do drugs. If drugs were available at your local pharmacy for anyone to have, There would be a much greater number of people becoming hooked on them. Although, getting drugs is as easy as buying a snickers for some people like us. (I am also south of beantown). There are tons of young stupid hick farm boys who would never get the opportunity to buy them. Those are the people who get hooked, with nothing to do but milk cows, drink cough syrup and fuck chickens, when drugs come around them, they use them. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see drugs legalized. But knowing what I know about the science of addiction (which is quite a bit), I know just by numbers alone, the addiction rate would sky rocket.. Do you know that 1 out of every 3 people who tried Oxicontin more then 3 time, became addicted to it. And even worse is that out of those people (almost 1 million in the U.S. alone) almost 70% turned to heroin within 2 years. Crack cocain has even higher numbers. I just don't want my kids be all fucked up because of the availability of drugs, as of now, I have atleast a chance of keeping from using. It really is my largest concern as parent. Plus, they have my DNA, and we all know that addiction is passed on generation after generation.
