Nic & David Sheff Of 'Beautiful Boy' On Stemming Teen Addiction 

WuhSuhDood glad you are sober man, never go back brotha👊

Hope you are well and working your recover. God bless you

Same can be said for caffeine though.. I think it 100% should be legalized, it just should not be promoted / advertised (nor should alcohol or tobacco etc.). I also think harder drugs should be legalized in the sense that addicts can go to a doctor and be prescribed safe/clean forms of the drug they may be addicted to. Think methadone clinics, but expanded in a way that they provide methadone and suboxone still, but also heroin and maybe one other opioid, for people who do not want methadone yet, but also know they need help and are at risk of killing themselves. And for stimulant addicts (coke/meth) maybe you could offer Adderall. For benzo addicts, maybe you could offer clonazepam and stuff like pregabalin. It doesn't have to be all drugs nor the worst forms of the street drugs, but some kind of legal, medically supervised alternative that you know is clean and safe, so that you can get through perhaps the next few months or years of your life without dying, whilst you are not yet ready to get clean or move to something less "recreational", like methadone or suboxone. It is good because from the methadone clinics, you get hooked up with therapy, psychiatrists, even rehabs, and they have resources there like all the local AA meetings time/places, etc.. It gets addicts one step closer to eventual sobriety, than continuing to buy dirty over-priced drugs off a gang member criminal, and instead they begin to talk about their problems openly with a doctor and receiving professional help, without the HUGE step of going to a 3 month rehab to be clean instantly, something that very rarely actually works out for people. Addictions just need to run their course for a lot of people, but they need help getting to that other side of it ALIVE. No addict who dies will ever get clean. An addict who is alive always has a chance to. The less destructive / instantly able to kill you drugs should just be legally available though, things like MDMA and mushrooms. We don't have to legalized everything to win the drug war, really just need a few solid options and if those exist then drug users will almost entirely leave the black market behind. And that really should be the ultimate goal, destroying the income generation for large gangs and cartels who prey upon those with severe mental health problems.

The actual fuck does skin have to do with addiction shove your race card up your ass hAzEL

totally agree

I was just telling someone this the other day. With widespread heroine addicts, the majority of whom are White, it’s an “epidemic.” With predominantly Black crack addiction, it’s a crime, and we should lock them up and throw away the key. In fact, we did. SMH.
