This is one of the saddest and most destructive afflictions in our society; and has been for decades!
Its an affliction that is compounded(not eliminated) by its prohibition; prohibition simply promotes crime associated with its supply and acquisition.
The absolute champion of drugs abused is Alcohol. All the others mimic its abuse pattern: No one gets off it unless THEY want to! Usually, they have to "hit rock bottom" before they realize that ... most never, ever recover from it .. it "literally" kills them. and destroys their friends and family along the way!
Controlled distribution and taxation would go a long way in controlling destructive drug afflictions; providing necessary dollars for treating "the treatable". We must realize that there are many who will never ever recover, and should be allowed to exit this veil of tears in a humane manner (using the drug(s) of their choice). Hate this you may (as I do), but shoveling sand against the tide has never worked!
I close with a prayer for those family member who have a loved one hooked on a substance that is destroying them!
