Old Travis just can’t stay out of jail. Grow up buddy. You’re still acting like a teenager.
It’s a shame what drugs is doing to our town and people. Kids so aged from drugs they look 15-20 years older!! God have mercy on all those affected by this devastating disease called addiction!
It’s a huge problem alright, and not just in Louisa. However my friend, it is not a disease, it’s a choice. Many trained professionals tell us it is because they are in a field that treats this ‘disease’. They harp and harp about this, until they make people swallow the bait. I lived in the 60s, 70s and 80s and saw a lot…even tried some. I made a choice not too! It really is that simple, nothing more, nothing less…a choice! ARC and many other agencies make a lot of taxpayer money treating this sickness, and America has wasted trillions since 1973 fighting a war on drugs; but it’s worse now than ever. I wonder why all the treatment has done nothing?.
Charley this is about the dumbest thing you have posted and you have posted some dumb ones
Charles all the treatments have done a lot. Many people, way more than you know, and some probably in your close family and friends if you have any. It is very much a disease, an hereditary disease at that. It is also the result of living in a society where getting mental health treatment for depression, anxiety, bipolar, and more is stigmatized, both medicines and therapy. It is also a disease of poverty. One of the constantly true facts about addiction worldwide is that anywhere there is poverty there is drug use and the higher the poverty the more addiction there is.
The war on drugs failed before it started. It treated addiction as a crime that needs punished when it is a physical and mental health disease. The same as arresting people with dementia or parkinson’s, amputations or wheelchair bound. Because whether you “believe” it or not doesn’t matter that’s your uneducated opinion about something you don’t understand. But almost 100 years of research, studies, and finding treatments by actual educated professionals says it is a physical and psychological disease with a very prominent genetic risk factor.
My advice to you Charles is when you talk about something that you are uneducated in, say it’s in your opinion, not that it is it isn’t. Because when people talk the way you just spoke it actually makes the problem worse because it deters people from seeking treatment or racing out to friends and family for help. Basically if you had a child with an addiction problem and they grew up hearing the ignorance of your opinion, they are less likely to ask for help especially from you. And they are more likely to overdose and die because you taught your opinion of ignorance as a fact. Ultimately that would make your responsible of murder, not legally, but morally. And that would be a stain upon your soul.
