Here is James video on youtube.com … part of the CDC program drawing attention to drug/substance abuse… IMO.. James believes that he is a VICTIM of the potentially addicting properties of controlled substances… He started smoking MJ and drinking alcohol … “like everyone else did”… then graduated to “nerve pills”.. which graduated to “pain pills” and then graduated to being a “IV drug user”…
I am happy that James turned his life around…but when is the last time that you heard anyone talk about ALCOHOL being a gateway drug.. yes ALCOHOL is a drug.
IMO.. James is not a victim… he just made some bad choices… we all made some bad choices in our lives… people chose to drive when drunk… people chose not to that their medication for their chronic conditions… some diabetics do not follow an appropriate diet and control their blood sugar.. Some people only eat one meal a day.. starting when they wake up and stop when they go to bed…

That is so true. Frustrating.
