Reply #53: Drugs are dicey to deal with

[Buddha2B]

My Little brother is a Drug Addict/Alcoholic. Dope got him into it, now he does all kinds of stuff. (Mainly speed I think). he definitely has brain damage and his personality has become psychotic. He's a typical addict. Can't hold down employment, goes missing for days. Blows all his money. He gambled away a $180,000 fortune which was his ex-wife's inheritance.

A good friend from school. I caught up with him years later. He was definitely showing psychotic tendencies. He even told me he was having trouble. A couple of years later he had to quit his job as airplane mechanic and move back in with his parents. He delivered groceries to my parents. My Mother said he was talking slow, like he was retarded. The guy was basically genius level IQ. Long term dope smoking.

I think in some people, these drugs bring out dormant mental problems.

That being said, I have a friend that is dieing from Pancreatic cancer. I would love for him to have access to it. Maybe it could help him? At least with his pain?

It needs to be decriminalized and monitored by the Government.
