My daughter will turn 19 this month. She is our fifth child. She has also been the most worrying to us as she started using drugs a long time ago. She said she first smoked weed at age 12. Since then she has gone on the try many other drugs to include meth, cocaine, pills and LSD and a few others I can’t name. Last year she was in intensive care for 8 days. She has also been in jail about seven or eight times and gone through rehab twice. She is currently living with her mother and I at home but things are getting very tense. She broke up with her boyfriend and says that the stress of breakup makes her want to go get high and chill with her friends. Her friends are not true friends as they are also on drugs. Every time she hangs out with them she stays wasted for a couple days and I had to take her to the ER twice due to overdose on alcohol. Add to all this she has been beat up several times and raped twice that she has admitted to. When you add into this chaos the fact that my wife suffers from a mental illness which is made worse with stress it gets even more chaotic. Now I am at the point where I will soon have to make the choice of allowing my wife to be hospitalized because of her mental illness or I put my daughter out because of the strife she is causing. We’ve offered her all the help in the world and she continues to go on binges and tell us that what we offer won’t help. The last time she got wasted she told us all to “Go f***” ourselves. That night she left the house and was brought home by the police when they found her walking down the highway. As a parent I love my daughter endlessly. But I don’t see how (or why) I should continue to allow her to destroy the rest of the family. But at the same time I feel guilty for what I am considering. We can’t force her into treatment as she is an “adult” and I’m afraid that she will either end up in prison or dead. All this started I believe because she started smoking weed. The weed lowered her inhibitions and resistance and she started doing other drugs. So I truly believe that weed is a gateway drug and should never be legalized. If someone needs it for medicinal purposes they should have to go to a pharmacy for it just like we do with other prescription medications. It hurts me to do it, but I think I may be evicting her from the house today when I get home from work.
newbie?
Was not talking about crack, the issue was MJ, and you never did answer the question about the legal pushers “doctors”. They are just as bad as any of the other drug pushers as far as I can see.
Utter nonsense. The human body has no defense against drugs. Someone gives you Rohypnol , you pass out and you don't remember a thing. It has a DIRECT EFFECT on your mental processes. Narcotics tamper with your pleasure center as well as other parts of your brain. The human body is chemically driven, and certain chemicals interfere with the normal processes.
Stop pushing this nonsense that guns are exactly like drugs. Stop believing nonsense.
Well said!!!
Then our only choices are death by drugs, or destruction of any constitutional protections that might stand in the way of making sure nobody gets their hands on any narcotic drug they aren’t explicitly given permission to take by the government.
No, I didn't.
If you didn’t, then my apologies.
That broad brush is worthy of the the most hysterical leftist.
Well I won’t pretend to have any answers but if your goal is keep her alive and out of jail, adding “homeless” to her list of problems seems to me like the last thing you’d want to do.
That is were most prostitutes come from, drug addicts, she’s already been part way down that road with stripping.
Very true. Drugs are much better on the Body than guns, Drugs are used to treat illness and such Guns just make big holes in bodies and then they bleed.
And who would give a firearm to a 12 year old kid who has never fired one and without supervision.
Will not surprise me at all if they sued as most dope heads I have met think the world is about them.
Slightly off topic but have you noticed how this admin ignores their drug laws, refuses to enforce immigration laws and marriage laws.
Maybe this doped up administration is filing papers
Excuse me, in your case newbie is = to youngen, newbie to life. I know you are not that old yet you are on FR day and night also. Been looking for a job for years now haven’t you? Still not find work yet you can stay on FR all day and all night?? What does your family think about that.
Good post
Some people can digest milk. Other's can't. Indians lack the proper enzymes for processing alcohol, and so it screws them up worse than it does white people.
Your attitude that everyone should be exposed to drugs that might kill some of them because SOME people are not in danger is self centered and foolish.
We know vaccines will sometimes kill people, but the quantity of people saved make up for the possibility that some will die. Drugs have no such redeeming features regarding the people they kill.
That immuned people get some pleasure does in no way make up for the fact that susceptible people DIE.
Only a fool thinks that just because he is immuned, so must everyone else be also. The reality is that some can handle it, and for others it wrecks them.
Really? A doctor with 22 years of education and years of operating a thriving practice helping thousands of patients is no different than some murdering low life cartel member intent on peddling pain and misery to innocent children?
You need professional help.
Not off conservatives you won;t hear about making drugs legal, however we will see the usual trolling liberaltarians spouting their “make drugs incest, homo agenda all legal”
Really?
That has no bearing on the fact that their killing of drug dealers works.
It is irrelevant to the central point; That killing drug dealers reduces drug usage and drug supply.
and my personal situation is your business because..??
I know a lot of pot users, so I have good reason to oppose its legalization
They’re the usual trolls pretending to be conservatives but have their own agenda.
I call BS...to rfreedom4u if no one else will.
