[Discussion here is fine...if it gets the point across...and I disagree with your counter view...I know you had some experience in the drug world...No excuses Ian..drugs are just dumb, and to justify one that uses is a losers game...
Of course drugs are dumb Fran, but, unless you have suffered from addiction
yourself, you really can't
talk the talk, if you haven't actually
walked the walk.
Anyone who justifies drug use plays the loser's game every bit as much as someone who judges without having actually walked in the other person's shoes.
And yes, I think a subject as
sensitive as this one, probably should be in the bar...it serves no actual purpose on a General Arranger Forum...there are plenty of other sites that deal far more knowledgeably, objectively and thoroughly with drugs, addictions, and their consequences on human life.
