I don't like it, no, not because I am what you would consider a 'druggie', but because it's used as a very wide paintbrush to pigeonhole anybody with a lifestyle that you don't approve of without any consideration of facts. I am not pro drug use (legal or illegal), I am pro legalisation, regulation and taxation. I hope you can hear my message from up there on your pedestal.
That's a good thing. Save the painkillers for when and if you need them. When your wife gave birth, she must have been in agony?
I cut one down from a tree, didn't do him much good though. His mum would have felt better knowing such wits as yourselves would have funded the NHS through his addiction.
If the NHS was properly funded and the powers that be recognised that addiction is an illness, he might not have ended up in a tree. For every negative drug related anecdote, there are 99 more with a neutral outcome and in the case of the arts, some positive ones. Thanks for acknowledging my wit, though.
No, I don't take any drugs - prescribed or not. You're not very good at this are you? What a fine 'role' model you must be for your kids. Oh, look - there's Dad snorting another line. Silly ****.
Alcohol is a drug you donut. I adopted my kids, so I'm certainly a better role model than they would have had. Btw I went through rigorous checks to get them.
Maybe you should have told them about your habit, however infrequent. I'm sure you wouldn't have two adopted kids. But well done on adoption, my late grandmother fostered children and had literally hundreds under her care, usually for very short periods whilst finding permanent homes.
If addictions an illness why do you want to legalize the drugs to make them continue being ill? They're working on cures for cancer, they aren't working on any for addiction. Why not?
No, I'm suggesting if the authorities knew about your drug use, however infrequent. It's more than likely the adoption wouldn't have been approved. I would imagine use of illegal drugs would be something that stops the process.
