Mt. Dew Mouth?

Is there no longer personal responsibility in this country or is it always someone else's fault?

Man this is ridiculous. It will never stop. What about the Parents? Where are they? Wonder if the Gubment had some money in the latest round of taxpayer robbery for these folks? If not it will be in there soon enough. They should go after Coke, Burger King, McDonalds, Walmart and every other Company in the world because in some way these companies are responsible for their problems. Even Trojan for not supplying enough Condoms for this area.

The wife and I saw this story last night. Really heart breaking that some people live that way and just continue to repeat the cycle over & over.

Also did you see that just starting out at lvl 1 working in the Coal Mines pays $ 60,000 and they can't get enough workers to work due to the failing of the drug test.

Maybe the death penalty for making meth! That will never happen. But why not legalize pot, some countries already do. I have a friend who has severe rheumatoid arthritis, the new drugs wont work for her, and the nicids, and asprins are componding the problem,and pain killers are being looked at as adictive, news flash what else is there?If canabis were legal, the tax base would increase, and some folks would benefit from that.If I knew where to buy sonme grass I'd try it for her, but its probably too expensive.I was someone who needed to be drug tested a lot because of government regs due to my job, but booze wasn't a concern, still isn't in a lot of cases.But its america, it dosn't need to make sence.

I wouldn't be against the legalization for medicanl purposes. I have a cousing who was born with glaucoma, he is now 39. He has smoked weed for years, not just because he wanted to relieve the pain in his eye, but it did help. A few months ago he quit smoking it and now he is scheduled for surgery to remove his eye and get a glass one. He cannot even get pain killers to relieve the pain, but many people with no real problem get them all the time.

Back in the liberal days a lot of folks toked. after bowling one of our watering holes was also a police bar, and it was very noticable there.When my cousin came back from nam, he was addicted to grass, he smoked it in the hospital where he was recovering from some wounds. It didn't do much for me, except increase the appetite for white castles.Then the new regs came down, and that ended those days.I myself know of several guys who have been users for years, and trhey always make it work, and only toke on one of their days off.The last time I talked to him, he said the police dept wasn't checking, but they were tal;king aboutit. Our jails are crowded because of grass, some of the cases are just BS. But making meth, that is one crime they should prosecute with extreme prejudice.

I agree with Kygorski legalize for medical reasons and hammer meth and cocaine users. Heroin is making a comeback.

We need the tax money so yes make it legal for med use, does not do as much harm as legal med's Yes ZX, heroin is coming back, since the illegals are here, I had some neighbors that I think was dealing H, just my justice dept senses kicking in. I will have to stop drinking and smoking so I need something, to keep me calm. LOL LOL LOL. If the US would look at other countries that have either legalized pot or dicrimilazed it that their hard drug use has went down and their income went up.
