than maybe you could tell us some more details on which drugs you took? no offense but i really doubt you ever took illegal drugs...trully...

and also difficult to speak about the downside of pot smoking with a non pot smoker...you know it's going both ways and unfortunately banning one or the other (pot smokers/non pot smokers) is not the right choice...

Also breaking a law is not immoral you know...if rosa park never sat at the front of the bus, black people would still not be recognized...so by agreeing automatically with a law is not moral, some people has to fight them and i don't blame you for not trying to, some people don't want to leave their own confort others are suffering for...

but please, tell me what was that drug you abused from? you know so i don't abuse from it!

"no offense but i really doubt you ever took illegal drugs...trully... "

Yeah, that's right, you caught me. I make stuff up to give what I say greater impact and the authority of experience. 'Trully'.

Yeesh. I won't give a laundry list of drugs I have done--you hear people do that sometimes when they're sharing in the Program and it sounds like a perverse kind of bragging. Let me put it this way: Cocaine was my thing, along with alcohol. But listen: I was the kind of addict who wouldn't smoke crack cocaine because that would've made me, you know, a crackhead and I wasn't going to be a crackhead, no sir. And I wouldn't stick needles in my body, either, because that's what junkies did and I wasn't a junkie, no way.

I look back on that kind of thinking now and just cringe.

I started doing drugs and alcohol because I had an undiagnosed mental illness, and drugs and alcohol seemed to do for me. Drug and alcohol abuse exacerbated the mental illness, hence the divorce, the joblessness, the homelessness.

Whether you believe me or not is your affair. I have a little more than five years' continuous sobriety: what others believe or don't believe no longer gets under my skin--at least not so much as it once did.
