Interestingly, it is also those who have abused narcotics who are usually against the legalizaton of drugs. Not because they're hypocrites...but because they're aware of just how damaging the addicition is. And I'm not talking about marijuana, but rather the opium based derivatives/synthetics that are widely available throught legal prescriptions.

My dad was a family doctor who had an older physician friend/mentor who understood narcotic addiction very well.

Dad's friend said that he would rather have someone tell him his son was dead than that he was addicted to narcotics.
