(No, not comparing cigarettes to heroin, obviously not the same thing)

Parents both smoked. I smoked for a few years. I would hesitate to compare the two though. Smokers aren't associated with societal decay or high crime rates. Hard drug abusers are.
The US government's watchful eye would rather see terminal patients in pain than allow them to become addicted to opiate-based pain meds. That's a bull**** position imo and could become another thread on its own.
Your thread gives in interesting perspective, one I wouldn't normally get and one of the valuable aspects of 2p2 and OOT.
My apologies for the original comment. It was a ****ty thing to post.
I'm not pounding on you so much as wondering about the outpouring of love and affection from OOT, which normally has such a refined eye for bull**** and a sharp way of pointing it out.
The situation you are in is a result of appallingly stupid decisions on your part. You know it, you are trying to deal with it, I wish you luck.
But I don't think you deserve a pat on the head for it. Maybe a few well-placed kicks in the ass somewhere in your past might have helped deter your course from the one you ended up taking.
