Not necessarily. Not all drugs make you unaware of what is going on around you (many do exactly the opposite). I would say your description fits maybe a benzo addict but not really a cocaine addict.

Pot though? That stuff is just fun. Hehe.

A 'druggie' is someone who seeks to escape themselves by chemically altering their mind.

It is generally not RWNJ's who pass law after law rendering virtually everyone a lawbreaker.

True, their stealing was perfectly legal.

I am challenged to believe that Bank of America is posting help wanted ads on Criag's list.

My thread addressing the issue of Racial Profiling was just shut down.

The reason, they said I was "trolling."



I guess there's still a strong group in this country that doesn't want to address the issue.

Necessarily. What I said is definitely true. There are no exceptions.

That, too. But we have different names, since, culturally, we have avoided calling alcohol a 'drug'.
