He works, pays his bills and fulfills his obligations. To me that is 1000% better than the life he led as a junkie not to mention the pain he put our family through.
But if half these people can lead some sort of responsible life - good on them and good on the program.

I guess it must be hard to have to say "well he's better than he was" sometimes, I know, you have to accept that the person you love has no will to take control of his life. I'm sorry for you, but I remain unmoved on my stance, he's just piss weak.
Get a farkin life ya loser, is my advice to him, grow the bugger up and take a hard, unbiased look in the mirror.
It's when he can look in the mirror and say "you farkin useless piece of shite, you can't even take long weekend to visit your family because you need permission from a chemist". thats when he can want more for himself, and if he doesn't, well he doesn't deserve the life he has. kids with cancer deserve a shot at life they could have done something with it. Life is precious. pfffft Theres no excuses, you live and learn or you waste your life.
Sad but true.

Rather a piss weak human being who has a prop that isn't harming anyone - than a dead one. His children wouldn't share your views.

Merou I'm a bit confused about your idea of shooting adicts after a certain period of time, given that you have been one. Is there any scientific basis to chosing 5 years? What's to stop someone changing it to less than the period of time you were addicted for? It seems like you are just drawing a line in the sand across your own toes. Are you just trying to find someone who is 'worse' than you to use as a scapegoat?

yes you are right,I think de criminilasing it is the best option. Quite afew heroin addicts actualy live a relatively "normal" life, apart from the fact they struggle to pay the bills, and own next to nothing.
I should be more mindful of what I write after a few bundies.
I was addicted for 3years and spent most of the last 2 wanting desperately to get clean, at the end of the day it's up to the addict, all the help in the world is worth nothing unless, in their heart, they want their life back. There is no easy way, and if it is too easy there is no fear of having to go through it again.

Sorry Mantra.

I think it will ruin many lives, but nowhere near as many as the the current stance does.
I believe that at least 50% of crime is directly or indirectly attributed to drugs today, bashing, murder, rape, theft, robbery not tomention the obvious trafficking, possession, manufacture etc.
tens of thousands of crimes wiped out with one policy. political correctness has much to answer for.

yes, overnight one of the main incomes for criminals will stop.

We could get a tax off pot and whatever. One appeal for it would stop.
Cops would have slightly safer lives. I like cops.

It'ld start a whole new industry, employing all the illegal growers now.
One really good point is the relationship between noncriminal drug users and cops would change significantly.
