Calling for the death penalty for all illegal drug users is mature?
Neither one of us are right, my idea just tends to soothe the hate that I have for the past experiences I've been put through because of someone's addictions.
One uncle? I helped put behind bars when he skipped out on bail that my mother stupidly paid for him. The charges? Meth lab. He gets off on a technicality. 2 months later? He's off to prison for being busted AGAIN. Not the first time, or the second, or the third for that matter that he's been down this path. My mom is niave and kind hearted. Took him in when I was in middle school to try and get him clean. What happens? He gets into drugs AGAIN and ends up with some crazy guy stalking me threatening to rape and kill me to get back at my uncle.
Other uncle? Same story, different year(s) except for the creepy stalker guy that I had to go to court over.
Best friend? Finally clean after years of substance abuse. I totally cut her out of my life for a while. Told her when she was ready to get clean to call me. Took almost dying to come to her senses almost 8 years after I cut her out of my life.
Years of working in a pharmacy also helped build my complete hate and loathing of drug addicts of any kind. I just cannot and will not stand that kind of thing. Want to kill yourself? Fine, use a bullet, at least the healing process for the rest of your family will be a lot quicker and probably a lot cheaper on them and the tax payers in general.
I have no sympathy for drug addicts and really do believe they are a waste of space.
