I have a niece who has contracted Hep C and is spending time in psych unit...drug-related. She's only high school age. Her life is pretty-well screwed up.
Oh? It's not ME? Close enough for government work, my friend. I do hope it never affects you or your loved-ones.
"I have a niece who has contracted Hep C and is spending time in psych unit...drug-related. She's only high school age. Her life is pretty-well screwed up."
I'm sorry to hear that. But what have our current laws done to save her from this? They've actually created the drug culture where experimentation and such is the "in" thing to do. It's obvious that our current laws didn't save your niece from this experience.
Your grief is obvious, and probably hits home to many more of us, but it wasn't drug use that she got Hep C from, it was the way she took the drug, dirty/shared needles perhaps? Someone earlier posted that we've been dealing with alcoholics since the beginning of time, I would add the same is true for druggies. Prohibition drove alcohol underground, and did the same for once legal drug's. Neither have been illegal since the beginning of time, and we managed to survive it. My 2 Cents! Blackbird.
