JK>The young things today take multiple drugs........to hide the
JK>symptoms of use such as the lethargy from the pot.......this will be
JK>offset by either cocaine or an amphetamine to get them up in the
JK>morning and going.  For someone who has been hard hit by the booze
JK>and the pot, the use of either or both will soon send the patient to
JK>an emergency room with an O.D.
This is an absurd "cause and effect" theory. Totally without any merit.
JK>Not all of them manage to get into this state, just the ones who are
JK>hard hit.
Some people are more at risk for addiction due to their addictive 
personalities. "Masking the effects of alcohol or pot" is not EVEN a 
logical inference.
JK> And the only way to find out seems to be to use the drugs.
What does that mean? You mean to see if they have an addictive 
personality?
JK>We also have the occasional hard hit kid such as the Quinlan girl
JK>who went into a comma after a party. 
The word is COMA.
JK> Hard to know just which drugs
JK>were available that night.  Kids sometimes know what they are buying
JK>from pushers and at other times, do not. That makes the cases hard to
JK>treat.
Due to illegality, this is true.
JK>We can predict which families will have a tendency towards
JK>We alcoholism. cannot predict which families will have a tendency to
JK>have severe reactions from other drugs.
You mean addictive personality? 
If you mean allergies to nearly anything, like dish soap or hair spray 
or certain drugs even, true...it is hard. If you mean severe reactions 
to poisons, or severe reactions to overdoses of drugs... false, EVERYONE 
has a tendency to a severe reaction.
