Sounded like she knew she needed help and was seeking it. Always sad when anyone passes, especially at a young (and 40s is young, people) age (with the exception of child molesters, rapists, murderers and the like).

Real sad. She has been battling this for a long time. It's the reason she was written out of the show to begin with.

You're right. Drugs are totally cool. :rolleyes:

Oh did I say drugs are cool?

Narcotics are terrible things. Making them illegal hasnt done much for us. Now that meth is a hit in the southwest drugs are almost unstoppable. When every dirtbag in a trailer can watch a youtube video and create theyr favorite drug in the bathtub with household ingredients there isnt a lot you can do.

Lets focus on helping people who are resorting to drugs because of other problems rather than focusing on the drugs that we cannot stop.

I think you have a valid point but you are not seriously suggesting we turn a blind eye and make it legal to get all drugs are you? We know that kids will smoke if they get easy access to it. We know kids will drink if they get easy access to it. Now you want to do that with drugs?

Look, the war on drugs has been anything but successful but making them legal is not the answer. Let's make it easy for people to get their hands on the "zombie" drug? I know I don't want that readily available and have people walking down the street so whacked I have to worry about him re-enacting a scene out of The Walking Dead.

There is no easy answer to this problem.

no im not a proponent of full on drug legalization I just like to play devils advocate on stupid comments people make.

I am for legalizing certain drugs and dont have a full opinion on what to do with meth, heroin, etc.

Would we rather they stay underground black market with seedy criminals and etc or do we sell it from designated drug areas like europe did and limit what you can get but make it cheaper so you are less likely to commit crimes to get your drugs.

I go both ways, just playing devils advocate.
