Now, I'm a guy in his late forties, who apart from the very occassional smoke doesn't take drugs. But I can't be a hypocrite and say all drugs are the devils work. In my youth 20's and into my 30's I moved in circles where drug taking was the norm,and the experimenting with different substances went hand in hand, the feeling that some drugs give you is sublime, leaves sex standing ! ,but thats the very reason they are addictive.
I reached an 'Amy Whinehouse' situation where I either quit or ended up in the gutter. I took to drink instead !! (I hardly drink now either).Some of the people I know aren't so fortunate, when I'm in the UK I sometimes visit a mate in a mental instituition who is no longer able to function due to excesses of the past, a couple of others are dead.
In no way am I advocating drug taking, but its not as black and white as saying that all dealers should be strung up.
I'll just pack my bags......
