[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or pp, they are predisposed to addiction. As is the case on my family. 
I've been hyper vigilant about taking tha bare minimum when prescribed painkillers and stopping as soon as I could manage for this reason. My sibling wasn't so lucky. [/quote]

You followed the directions.  Your sibling, more than likely, did not.  I'm not trying to be condescending, but there is some degree of choice involved.  Once someone decides to take 4 pills instead of 2, or takes more pills after 2 hours instead of waiting 4 hours...that's where the problem lies.  [/quote]
Exactly. There is a lot of dishonesty among whites about this opioid addiction epidemic. Your precious snowflake was getting high and knowingly abusing the drugs before addiction set in. The same story as the other addicts who you blame for their condition while your child has a "disease."[/quote]

I wouldn't have put it quite so bluntly, but this is exactly right. I went to Yorktown and later, H-B. Grew up in Arlington. I know several white kids from Yorktown who OD'ed on heroin, one fatally. The others probably will OD too or die of related causes. All of these kids started with pills in middle or high school, used off and on, usually raiding their parents' supply or getting it from older siblings. A couple were good athletes who abused what doctors gave them after sports injuries. [/quote]
Read the book "Go ask Alice"
Some people have their drinks, cigarettes laced by a friend
I am fortunate enough to not be an addict and would never just blatantly pass judgement on someone. Nobody decides they want to be a junkie and goes to find a drug pusher for that purpose.
Our society is blindly judging people without looking into issues more deeply, perhaps if they did they would see an image of themselves they do not like[/quote]

"Go Ask Alice" is a fiction book from 1971. I don't think any kids are becoming heroin addicts by getting LSD put into their soda without their knowing. Try to use a more current reference than one that is 46 years old.[/quote]
