My sister is smoking meth!

I had my suspicions for awhile. Having been addicted myself I saw all the signs, but gave excuses for them not wanting to believe. Then a mutual friend was visiting her and saw the pipe.

Knowing for certain devastated me. I was so hurt and angry. It.triggered a lot of.old feelings. I couldn’t confront her because of our mutual friend. Even if I did, she would lie.

It’s been 4 months since I found out. When I see her my heart breaks. I’m not angry anymore

I hate meth!

We have something in common, I also hate meth. I think it's time we start holding junkies accountable for the harm they do to innocent people.

@HobNoblin Hold them accountable...now so?

@dubkebab Realizing they cause harm instead of seeing them as some kind of victim. They're not , no one told them to take their first hit. I'm sick and tired of dealing with junkies.

@HobNoblin Well,speed freaks are not renowned for their listening skills or grasp of their actions impacting others...so recovery can require huge amounts of patience and compassion. But anything's possible and some do change selfish ways in time.Criminalizing drugs hasn't worked,so I favor education. On page one? Your first hit of methamphetamine feels friggin' amazing! Hence its addictive potential. Beware.

If someone tests positive for illegal drugs then they are in possession of a controlled substance and should be arrested on the spot. Send all drug users to a huge reservation. They can farm, build towns, manufacture. But, they don't ever leave until they stop using. They get tested weekly, drugs are sure to be smuggled in so it won't be a problem to test them for drugs. Meanwhile it's not a bad existence and they're away from everyone else where they can do no harm. Any violent offenders of course go to prison on that reservation just as they would anywhere else. How functional you are determines if you work a job or stay in a padded cell. Legalize all casual drugs like mushrooms, cannabis anything in that class. Of course if a person is addicted, it will show and they can go to the reservation too. The main thing is we protect those who build and maintain our civilization not those who tear it down.

@HobNoblin You know that’s kinda messed up attitude. Apparently you don’t have a clue about addiction.

@Silverlady I sure do, I see the damage junkies do to innocent people all the time. I've had to deal with them myself. I'm kind of sick of it.

@HobNoblin You don’t know anything about addiction.

@Silverlady You are quite right, I lack the genetics of an addict.
