My sentiments exactly. When I was in high school (Class of '81) Quaaludes were all the rage amongst the druggies. There was pot, alcohol (very easy to get in those days), cocaine, and meth, too. I watched several people completely ruin their lives by the time they were Seniors in high school, all by their own making. I viewed it then as I view it now - It's tragic, but at the same time the weakest among us are removing themselves voluntarily from society. Not sure I can muster much sympathy for them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I understand. But a 13 year old teen is different than an 18 year old. The parents must be involved before they reach 13.
Darwin is hard at work.
Well that’s just it - you play in the Devils death territory you’re putting your life on the line from the get go. Drugs and music changed greatly in the 60’s. One hand fed the other. I wasn’t a part of it and wouldn’t participate. Really hated the culture then though I was very young. Stayed clear of those who were envolved.
If the guy thought he was taking a Percocet or an Oxycodone, or that he was eating Skittles candy, THEN IT WAS NOT A DRUG OVERDOSE! It is then a case of INTENTIONAL POISONING! 300+ are poisoned every day, while Benedict Biden cruelly replaces the dead Americans with ILLEGAL ALIENS!!
