Their would be no war on drugs were their not addicts doing what they do for, or as A result of the illicit drugs.

March 18, 2012 at 2:49 pm in reply to: Costa Rica’s Chinchilla Calls for Drug Legalization Debate #202265wspeed1195Member[quote=”Barbed1″]A public health problem,drug addiction,can not be fixed by the war on drugs. Unfortunately people who have never had a drug problem WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND ADDICTION. I am 10+ years clean and sober and have never met a non addict who understands addiction. Their answer is always ,Just quit! As long as you fit your narrow preception of who and what drug abusers are you will never really understand the real problem. I never was or met a prostitute so I really don’t have an opinion on that issue.
Just saying[/quote]Legalization and addiction don’t belong in the same conversation. I’ve also found my way out through an on-going recovery process for 23 years now.
When I was in the grip of my disease you could have legalized all drugs and I would still do exactly what I was doing.
Legalization is for people who have normal lives that indulge themselves from time to time and drugs don’t have the addictive nature that it had on me. I was an addict very shortly after my first use at 9. It was alcohol, it became pot by 11 and so on. By 19 I had sold kilos. That was in 1979 when the price of the product was $60,000 A kilo. Just like the disease, the lifestyle is progressive. It grows, it gets bigger,more lucrative, more dangerous and eventually it is the proud owner of another life.
I was as addicted to the violence in miami as I was the dope. Addiction manifested itself into all areas of my life.wspeed1195MemberFairy tale ending. That’s really cool. I love the southern Dominical and OSA area the most. Then la fortuna and Arenal.
