Ladies and gentlemen...The very word addiction is repugnant in a free and open society. Yet we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to the idea that dependence on a substance is acceptable. Yet the problem does not go away. Even today, there are those amongst us who battle with substance abuse every day after day never able to escape its punishing affects. How to best fight this battle is still in debate with no side gaining more ground over the other. However, it is perhaps best that we refrain from using any longer man power to try and fight moral battles and start to invest all or nothing in the education against harmful substances. Wasting money any longer is not an option for that kind of operation requires provisions the country simply does not have and results have shown it has had little affect in the war against drugs. It is when moral law's are passed and attempted to be enforced that we see the rise of those who seek to fill the gap where regulation and taxation once was. The violence and senseless blood shed must stop as the cartels will only continue there drug war in Mexico so long as there is a black market to sustain it.
In the end it is addiction is the true culprit of all of this non sense. Addiction to money, drugs, etc. Anything you wish to throw into this mix you must be mindful of. It is the addiction which has you convinced you must continue to do what you are doing for fear of not getting what it is you desire almost like you are being denied what you wish. When you have lost the ability to say no to your wants and desires you have lost control over yourself. This is not freedom or independence. It is mental enslavement that must be ended for once you decide to descend down the path of giving into your every desire there is no telling where you will stop or if you stop at all. I wont tell you what and what not to do with your life as this would be immoral and stupid. I do wish only to leave any one willing to listen with this warning..At first it will start with one, then two and two will turn into a few. before you know it and without your consent you are addicted. Do not let it happen to you and if addicted already never give up the fight to quit.
