Youre absolute and utterly ignorant. Opioids do not kill (edit: disclaimer, they can kill, but kill very few regular using addicts), this is why you see OLD heroin addicts. Seriously, do some reading and get a little education before making blanket statements. Your ignorance is profound. Your stupid, myopic, idiotic, religious agenda is obvious.

The real kicker here is that the drug manufacturer (Purdue Frederick Company) was, a little over a week ago, found guilty in a very large ruling (over half a billion dollars) in which they admitted the drugs were fraudulently marketed as being less addictive and subject to abuse when compared to other drugs. They admitted that they wrongly marketed the product and subjected millions of people to something more harmful than they perceived as through the marketing campaign.

And the op who had a legit prescription initially which became habit-forming (remember, he was taking it under the guise that it was marketed differently) is the "criminal" in light of the major case against Purdue and execs.

Food for thought.

WTF? :confused:

And you should be hit by an intoxicated motorist.

He never said that they should be able to drive while intoxicated. Alcohol is legal, but driving under its influence is highly illegal. It would be the same with other drugs.

Right... because drug use is clearly a "moraility only" issue...

Clearly there was never anyone injured, killed, or property destroyed because of the actions (direct or indirect) or judgement of someone who is under the influence of a chemical substance. Never has there been a automobile crash, and I'm sure you'd like your airline pilot to be high while he's flying you to detriot. Maybe you'd like your electrician to be trippin when they wire your house...

And clearly there are never any harmful side effects, drug interactions or possibilities for overdosing with recreational use. These drugs drugs could absolutely never create another widespread array of medical epidemic conditions similar to what cigarettes have done to lungs & hearts, and alcohol to livers. And while we're at it we should define withdrawl as another recognized medical condition so that these self addicts can get treatment for it as well.

Even more so, no-one has ever gotten so addicted that they would use their money to buy a fix, rather than pay their bills or buy food for their starving children.

Clearly this war on drugs is the agenda of the religious zealots who want to force Jesus on you... it couldnt possibly be the result of financial concerns of the medical insurance companies or safety concerns of public officials.

Responsible recreational use is a figment of your imagination... it does not exist. Get a clue!

MP3s don't leave you stoned when your baby is crying because you haven't fed it all day.

my baby is fat and happy, and we live in a private gated community, i make enough money to support my family with no problem.
How much money will you be making while you stamp license plates? You are a bad father.
forget that, you're just a bad debater.

I hope you choose to get help now instead of waiting until it's court ordered.

Regardless of what happens, you will live through it (unless you decide to do something stupid). How you decide to live your life after this experience is up to you. But what would you want your child to do if they were in your position?

Good luck. It's hard but you can do it.

Not sure if it's a victimless crime. Ever thought about his daughter?

Prison sentence may be a bit harsh but there should be some repercussions. People with addictions are not as productive at their jobs. It also affects their social and personal lives.

Addiction is an illness. I hope the OP hits bottom, learns from his mistakes and makes efforts to better his life.

and how do you think his daughter has been affected? whatever it is may be, is it worse than having a father removed?

if low work productivity and poor sociability calls for jailing... i know more than a few "clean" co-workers who should be thrown in the same bin :laugh:


but i guess theres that big deal about buying drugs = paying for al qaeda & 4 horsement ....

Your a troll because your trying to oversimplify the situation. Oversimplifying is always easier than taking in the full situation. The lazy and weak do it all the time, unable to actually formulate an argument that can consider all the points they simply ignore some as you have done.

Fine you support the law, but that does not allow you to ignore anything such as the situation of the family. Nor does it allow you to ignore the specifics of the crime such that the drug was phenobarbitol, that the guy handed it to him on the street rather than some planned drug deal, that his record will be permanently damaged.

You are not supporting the law. You are being a troll. If you support the law you have to actually make and argument showing people on this forum exactly why the law works:In all situations: most situations, etc. If you are unable to do so then shut up. A one liner may be used as a joke and other such odd circumstances, however insofar as I see it a one liner such as yours has absolutely no place in a debate.

Causing people to have to interpret(a one liner) or misinterpret your meaning then responding back is trolling especially in such a subject.

By the way, noone cares about your opinion if your not going to make an argument. If perhaps you just want to state that your not trying to make an argument say "it's just my opinion" otherwise it will be taken as such.

I would think people would be able to understand such things but I guess some feel the need just to interject their opinion everywhere and make them easily misinterpreted or oversimplified. Oh wait, they're called trolls.

This very well could be your much needed wake up call. My friend right after graduating from high school got strung out on meth. He became a totally different person. Robbed people, beat people up and did all kinds of bad crap just to get that high. I know you haven't done that same as far as I can tell but he got arrested and went to jail for a year. He came out a new person. He hasn't touched that stuff since and is living a great life. My only advice or suggestion is to get a very good lawyer. That's your only chance of perhaps getting some type of treatment before being locked up.

Legalizing the drugs themselves has no bearing on whether it's illegal to drive while intoxicated (hint: even if the drugs were legal, it would still be illegal to drive while intoxicated).
