I’m with you, brother.
You are right on every point.
However, what makes you and I smart enough to stay away from that crap while our neighbors eat it like M&M’s?
Are we that much smarter or do we just have better discipline?
I went too far inferring that there was NO fault on the addict.
The signs are there and they are pretty obviously.
A. We took this pill and got high for 10 minutes.
B. That’s not supposed to happen with prescription medication.
C. We should stop taking this.
Those 10 minutes felt TOO GOOD and I knew this was BAD NEWS.
I was 40 then. I wonder what I would have done at 22...
“Are we that much smarter or do we just have better discipline?”
Both. Smarter people tend to have better discipline.
