re: RE: legalizing recreational drugs and selling them in shops

My mother was missing for nearly half my life due to addiction and is just now 2 years sober. I've been to NA meetings with her an AA meetings with my father. I saw a therapist for years who specialized in working with kids who had a parent who suffered from addiction. I think I'm about as tuned in to how addiction affects someone as it gets, save being an addict myself.

Like I said, ive never been an addict, but I watched it unfold in front of my eyes with my mom and my dad and later on my step brother with pain pills, so I can safely assume I'm well versed in addiction.

I'm all ears though.
