Zack, people who are young don't always make the best decisions about things. Almost every song these kids listen to on the Mainstream is about doing drugs, banging girls, and living in sorrow. It's very easy to make poor decisions when you are a young person in college/highschool just trying to feel the rim of life. When a drug like Fentenyl and Herion, and Meth get introduced into society that have completely addict them on the first hit, and puts them into a euphoria on a scale that is beyond anything they have ever felt. It's something that completely changes their feeling of life. You crave that feeling more than anything and make horrible decisions to feel it again. Unfortunately, that feeling has a very detrimental effect on your person. The grip of the chemical weapon literally changes them.
It's a very powerful emotion. You must understand that these particular drugs must be considered chemical weapons and dealt with accordingly. We cannot risk our children falling prey to such a chemical attack because it is too detrimental to any young person who simply wants to experience a feeling of euphoria or escape from reality. It's too deadly. I hope you all could just understand that.
There is a reason I was able to become skilled in aces high air combat at the age of 16 and became a Controller in real life much younger than many people after college, and now working along with NASCAR as their partner. I am living an amazing life as an individual. I am very prosperous as an American. I admire intellegnece. My wife has a doctorate in education and makes more than me. I am so proud to have such a smart wife who is also so caring and loving to me. She plans the best trips for us to enjoy and I have traveled to so many places in 5 years and I cannot believe I found this level of happiness. I only say that so perhaps you will understand that I am not some idiot. I do appreciate the later part of your comment though and your sympathy to my situation.
Thats just messed up.
thursday, i was talking to a friend, she's told me many times how she has smoked speed since she was 9 years old. I like her, she's cool, but she's dating my best friend, coolest guy in the world, he knows. told him you break his heart, I"ll hunt you down. but in reality I wont do that. I just talked to her and explained that there's life without drugs, because i know that. other than that, I tell her I'll will always be there if she wants to talk, she's in her late 40's. but that is all i can do.
that's all you can do for addicts, just be there when they want to talk. cant change anybody that doesnt want to change. but if they want to talk, I'll always be there. hopefully they want to change, and I dont actually preach, i just listen.

edit: based on your rant, i assume you smoked a lot of pot, nothing wrong with it. but dont look down on people.
