Well said REB, as you've pointed out, this issue is a lot more complex than what ignorant people would have you believe.

my son , who was brought up by his mum is addicted to that meth crap. he is 17. she started letting me see him when he was 12. (actually he just ran away and came to my house).he was addicted then. absolutely heart breaking.i didnt know until a year ago, he hid it from me, wouldnt come around whilst on it.his mum has a *friend* and i use that term very loosely, who uses that garbage and my son hung around him and became addicted through him. i have had him off the stuff for for 2 months, by having him live with me. he continually said ad ive never felt better, i have money and assets now. ill never go back to that life etc..then all of a sudden he packed up and moved out. i found out where he was through one of his good friends, went to where he was and yep he was doped up . the place was like a morgue.4 people spaced out like retards.the single hardest moment of my life. i threw him over my shoulder and took him to the car. he started swinging at me ranting all sorts off bullshit like these people know what is good for me, u dont know what its like dad.
i threatened these assholes, but that had a negative effect, because my son still believes that they are his friends.i hardly see him now unless he wants something. not for trying but he doesnt want anything to do with me if i cant accept him doing what his doing.from time to time he will message me, often saying he cant help it and every morning he wakes up, his looking for his next fix .wednesday,whilst picking up my daughter from work, he was crossing the road, with these feral bastards, i said yo son, he was so wasted he could hardly walk.looked at me and looked away.feels like everything i try doing is fruitless, and cannot break that bond between him and that terrible drug.

Somewhat similar comments were made by UK lad when Muamba form Bolton collapsed on pitch & heart stopped last week. Kid said on twitter
'LOL,**** Muamba. He's dead!!! #Haha'
Kid is now in jail for 56 days.

Maybe if Cousins had a nice rack, overloaded would have a different opinion of him.

Throw the book at him and lock him up, give him plenty of time on the inside to write his autobiography

It's no joke mate. My Uncle was on smack. He's clean now but once you're hooked on the shit it lurks beneath the waves like a razor sharp reef for the rest of your days. He'll never be as 'high' again and the depression involved with kicking the habit also takes its toll.

I never said it was a joke.... I just don't have sympathy for the bloke. I love hitting the booze as much as the next bloke and have dabbled in drugs admittedly on a small scale. But at the end of the day the choices we make in life are made by no one else other than yourself. It's a shame someone of his talents has been tarnished by his off field actions. I really feel for his family to be honest.

But you would think him seeing the distruction that it has caused his mum and him that he wouldn't want to go near the stuff. Thank you for sharing it, I have seen what you are talking about when I worked at Cash Converters a guy and his mate would bring in stuff his mate owned so they both could get a fix.
