I think itʻs a matter of preference, because whichever one you like more is the one that will take you down the rabbit hole the fastest and hardest.<br />And that includes alcohol; it is a mighty powerful one but no one wants to hear about it.<br />So, in order to lick the drug problems the hypocrisy has to be addressed first. If as parents we reprimand and scold a child for drug abuse while at the same time our cocktail is splashing out of the glass, what the heck?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-90057786673945980272011-05-11T18:08:21.793-10:002011-05-11T18:08:21.793-10:00"We need to treat the root of the problem and..."We need to treat the root of the problem and not treat the symptoms or by- products"<br /><br />Exactly.....and that is the problem with our society.

The real ...Yesterday Ice, today Oxy, tomorrow ???. The real root of the problem is that people are in psychological and/or spiritual pain. Drugs only mask the pain temporarily. One of the solutions is for parents, schools, the community, etc. to teach our children how to cope with the problems of life. A first step also is admitting the presence of the source of the pain.
