So you're saying it's ok? I wasn't aware most of America was 10%(which is still quite high). I'm not sure where you're from but I don't know very many people on drugs. I guess all the random drug tests people take for their jobs don't show their drugs. Sure there are people who abuse their prescription drugs but I guarantee that number is not as high as you think.

Just wondering if that’s a money-back guarantee. That’s the only kind of guarantee I trust. My point is that America is one of the most drug-besotted nations on the planet, if not the most addicted. Who can blame a kid for turning to drugs, legal or otherwise, to solve every little perceived problem when the vast majority of advertisements in the media, especially on TV, are pushing one drug or another to treat everything from hangnail to herpes, from migraine to myocardial infarction, from obesity to obloquy, from ennui to epilepsy, from malaise to manic-depression.

America has been one of the most drug-addled civilizations on the planet ever since Columbus traded beads and trinkets to the American Indians for tobacco. It’s unfortunate that our young folks, especially, don’t learn early on that most drugs, especially illicit ones, generally only serve to compound a problem. It doesn’t help that we prosecute folks merely for smoking the occasional joint while letting drunks get off scot free. A little relaxation of our somewhat Draconian proscriptions on recreational drug use might serve to cut down on the number of prosecutions. With such a reliance on drugs, including alcohol, to cure, or at least treat, our maladies (either real or imagined) is it any wonder that America is experiencing a state of social entropy?

It's pretty sad we throw someone in jail for smoking a little herb yet its perfectly ok for a soccer mom to be driving around town high on xanex. But the "conservatives" will make damn sure pot doesn't become legal.

Whats the racist part? Is this like if you didn't vote for the Kenyon, you're a racist?:eek:k:

The racist part comes in whenever you disagree with or say anything negative to a black. Their immediate response that they have been conditioned to say by the screamin' liberals is "Racist". Not sure 1/2 the users of that word could even spell it correctly five times.

No one owned up so they arrested all of them but the herpes meds (chicken pox, shingles, and cold sore really but herpes sounds worse), diet pill, and oxy combo actually does sound like one person's legit prescriptions. But then who wants to admit to the herpes meds? lol.

In all seriousness, this could be one person's meds just not carried properly. The group he was traveling with didn't look too bright and Bammer police would just as soon arrest a group like that as sort it out before arresting.

I'm not going to judge we all have our vices I hope Eric gets the help he needs and gets back on the right track. Sad to hear.

That's the problem with this country. There needs to be a lot more judgement being made on poor behaviors.

This is dumb. I have known him for a long time and this is just stupid. He has got to stop messing around with crazy white chicks. (I'm white so it isn't racist)

That sucks. He used to come down and play basketball against us at catholic. I remember scrappin for a loose ball with him (guess who won that one...). Good dude. This doesn't change my opinion of him.

you are right ----
Xanex used properly will not make anyone 'high' -- stupid comment

That's true. Most of these drugs even opiates/opiods won't make anyone high if they're taking them properly. A person might get high if they're using them only occasionally or recreationally or with alcohol but a person under pain management or other long term care won't get high at all.

Poor behaviors as defined by you? When all you know are limited facts given in the paper?

Last time I checked, narcotics possession was still considered a poor behavior. Go hit the bong a few more times there chief...

Leave the guy alone. Who cares what addiction the guy has. If he is strong enough, he will beat it. That's what folks need to concern themselves with. His betterment.

He got arrested for a redneck charge. "Gangsta " nah more like redneck . Whites account for 87 percent of drug abusers in the US. I'm sure that's who he was hanging with . So maybe you should say such a redneck instead of such a gangsta. That would be more accurate.
