Repeat.I have a fair amount of experience with druggies. To all who read this that can say the same, then I offer my condolences.Druggies are going to get their drugs. There's simply no way around it. The sooner society accepts this as certainly as death or taxes, the better. Instead of having drugs illegal, simply "decriminalize" them. Having drug laws the same or similar to laws regarding alcohol and tobacco would be a good start.I can plainly remember a time when it seemed like nearly everybody smoked cigarettes. At least in my observation, that number seems to have dropped dramatically.Why haven't the same tactics that have been used for the past thirty years to demonize cigarettes, been used on drugs?</blockquote>
