I hate drugs!!! The only "drug" I dont have a problem with is marijuana and thats only if its used on accasion and not every day. I dont personally do it, but I have no problem with anyone else doing it. It's cocaine, ecstasy, meth, heroin and drugs like this that I cant stand and I HATE people who do it! My belief is they have no right to be bringing this crap into society. It breeds crime, murder, theft and the maiming of innocent people just so they can get their fix. Not to mention what drug use dies to couple's and to families. I dated a guy who did hard drugs and he paracticlly ruined my life with his crap. He alwys thought he was in the right and I had no right to break up with him becasue he did drugs. I should just take him for what he is. But that meant constantly worrying about him ending up in jail, killing himself or someone else or becoming a vegetable that I would have to take care of, and I didnt think that was fair to me....so I broke up with him...that was over two years ago and the drug problem is getting worse here. I cant walk around the city alone for fear of being mugged for drug money or being caught in a drug related incident on the street....its not fair that thses people are making life hard for the good people....I was just wondering how everyone else feels about this? Do you feel that they should be just left alone to do whatever they want or do you feel that the law should be cracking down more on these people...most crimes are drug related in some way and innocent people are dying because of drug shootings and robberies....I say a bigger crack down...lock them up on their first offense and throw away the key...I deserve a safe world to live in and so does everyone else who does not do drugs!

"I HATE people who do it!" wow...thats a bit harsh isnt it?? I mean we get caught up in the life for various reasons and 9 time out of 10 the reason ISNT a pleasant one...I am an addict and have been since I was a young teen..I'll ALWAYS be an addict too..it just so happens that I no longer use...and I can say from not only personal experience but also from the NUMEROUS ppl I know and knew back then that many of us got into it to ease the pain of whatever trauma, hardcore b.s etc life had thrown our way....It was a means of dealing, it was a way to escape the pain and cope..sure its not the greatest way or even a good way but at that time in life that was the only way we knew how to do it...To say you HATE someone for reasons like that is IMO pretty harsh and brutal to be honest with you.
