JK>SK>Your postulation that many that start with alcohol and them move
JK>SK>on to harder drugs is not factual. MOST people that drink alcohol
JK>SK>DON'T do any other drug....well except nicotine.
JK>Sonny, I don't know what mountain top you live on behind high walls
JK>with barbed wire enclosures that isolates you from reality.  The
JK>blunt truth is that a "pure" alcoholic is almost unknown today.  Most
JK>addicts are using at least two drugs besides alcohol and I am not
JK>limiting this to caffeine and nictotine.
Sorry, Mommy, but you are turning the point around again. YES, people 
that use drugs do tend to use other drugs and alcohol. The point was 
that MOST PEOPLE THAT DRINK ALCOHOL DO NOT USE OTHER DRUGS.
JK>SK>Many end up in Psych wards by the time they are 20? I don't know
JK>SK>what planet you are living on but drug treatment is rather
JK>SK>expensive and NOT available to most drug users....AND drug use by
JK>SK>and large does not make people totally insane.
JK>Drug treatment is almost impossible to obtain for those without
JK>funds. Which is why we have such a high rate in this nation.
My point, exactly. Thank you.
 
JK>  And I am very certain that you have never done intakes or listened 
JK>to those in the nearest A.A. or N.A. meeting.
Why would I go to an A.A. meeting? I'm not a Christian. I have been to 
R.R. meetings, though. And I am a recovering drug user. 
JK>I have.
And this makes you an expert on drug abuse?
I'm not, and neither are you. I sure have seen it from the inside, not 
just an observer...although I've been that too.
