My point is that most people, who become addicted, came to be so because of tragic circumstances.
Only the rich can afford it to use drugs as a 'recreational' activity.
There would be no money in drug trafficking if it weren't for the decadent rich & powerful.

i edited my post, you did not mention what it was until now. no clever thing i can say will stop the suffering you are having because of a loved one.
this is not about "things" its about stuff very very close in the face stuff. this is so very personal i dont even feel right bout discussing it on a public forum. its seems disrespectul of you and your family. if you wana email me feel free.
you are not alone. im with you.

Right, if a loved one if dying of cancer, just take action. Put on your doctor scrubs and make it happen.

And yet there are 'Christian' charlatans who prey on people in those situations. They promise miracle cures if you just pray, believe, and give them a donation.
The bigger the donation, the more likely the miracle.
Right?

And if the cancer patient still dies, we simply tell them they hadn't prayed long enough, or that they lacked faith.
Cauz it's never God's fault, right?

I'd say that drug addicts are common people.
How many people drink alcohol?
Or Smoke?
Or are using 'medicine'?
Or do other kind of drugs?

But the real question is:
How many people can live without their modern luxury (=technology/medicine)?

Tricky D, I understand you want to talk about all those above issues, perhaps you can start a spin-off thread, because we are hoping to help original poster here who happens not to be a drug addict.
