I can think of one improvement that can be made instantly and cost-free: Stop saying meth-heads are "self-medicating." They just want to get effed up, and calling it "self-medicating" is sugar coating it.
Yes, you’re right. I’m thinking”did I say that?” Yes, I said that. Probably the reason is I know that that some people lump illicit drugs in with the prescriptions they may be on, because they hate all drugs, period. I don’t believe that myself, but every time we have one of these really serious episodes, say like Adam Lanza, somebody brings it up and says something like “It’s all these psych drugs that kids and adults are on and maybe have been on nearly all their lives.”
