I grew up in NYCity during the height of the 60`s drug culture and have many experiences from my youth that I will never forget. But I did get around and know whats happening. For a period of time, I even worked in a drug rehabilitation center through my church. So when I talk about drug/alcohol abuse, I'm speaking from direct involvement and first hand knwoledge.
Remember one thing, one joint, a couple lines of coke, a mainline of heroin and you're high. Most people can have a few drinks and not be intoxicated. The same can't be said about illicit drugs. There's a big difference between alcohol and drugs like cocaine, heroin and marijuana. Many people believe marijuana is a harmless drug. Not true.
Btw, are you the same "sit-rep" from the website, "America's Situation Report"? Just curious.
