Would you allege that if it were not for marijuana, Jack would never have tried all the PRESCRIPTION drugs that were in his house due to Ozzy's broken foot?

I did wonder if the oxycontin was his mother's. Seems awfully risky, lifting meds she was taking regularly. What puzzles me is, what did they REALLY expect Jack to do? He wasn't in school, didn't seem to work, just hung out with his friends and spent money. Drug problems seem inevitable. Sad.

You can order oxycontin over the Internet. All over the place. In fact almost all narcotics are extremely easy to get. On top of the Internet, users know just what to say to the doctors, and the doctors pass them out like candy.

I have been around narcotic users though. They would sit around with the pills they had pilfered from here and there and look them up in a PDR. I was there one day when what they looked up was a heart medicine. I yelled at them for 15 minutes about stealing someones heart medicine until several people got up and left. It was a turning point for my friend though. I kept harping how it could have been his grandparent's medicine. Soon after he checked himself into the hospital and he has been sober every since. I don't bring that story up in public because he is very embarassed by it.

They don't seem to have any expectations for their children.
