<a class="user" href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/cron/">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drug ...</a>The most prominent drug use years were the 70's to 80s. Through most of the 60's it was mainly a use in a certain social crowd and not the main stream. Today use of narcotics is not all that prominent, pot however has exploded in use through the 90's and still continues today. Quite sad. It usually happens to children in High school, and as difficult as it is to get into a University these days, Pot just doesn't help. Take a minute and consider the majority of pot smoking teens compared to drug free teens, now consider which ones go on through school and make something of themselves and our nation. Thats another thing, people always blame the government for things all of our nations troubles, but have they ever considered to look at themselves?

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate that has BOLDLY stated everyone has the right to control what they put into their own body. He has stated that the drug war needs to end immediately! He is also against the coming prohibition on vitamin supplements!<a class="user" href="http://www.ronpaul2008.com">http://www.ronpaul2008.com</a>

No, they have sex anyway. They just hide it and pretend that the kid actually belongs to their brother in law or something like that.

"maybe telling them "You are breaking the law", To there face, might have an impact."Haaahahahaaa haa hahahaaaa aaa haaa ohhh..... hahhahahahah.... damn... hahaha ge heheee ha hahahaha! What an ignorant moron!Lets go back to grade school for a moment and repeat the words of your mother:"If your friends told you to walk off of a cliff, would you do it?".Then lets remember that lawmakers are NOT gods or even very intelligent most of the time.Now, try again?Funny idiot.By the way, your parents were clearly assh**es. But you are confused about the cause. They would clearly have been assh**es even if they were only snorting salt.

WAKE UP CALL, a federal democratic republic is a CAPITALISTIC SYSTEM, YOU WORK FOR WHAT YOU GET, AKA CAPITALISM! Oh, and btw I never classified all drugs as a class! Did you somehow derive that through your clouded high of a vision entitling you to be smarter than by pointing out untrue facts? The fact of the matter is YOU CANT BUY HAPPINESS, it is something you must attain. I speak through growing up with the f**king bulls**t of having two pot head f**k tards for parents!.

Addiction knows no color or status, you can have a drug problem even if you are a suburbanite, believe me I know. One main difference is that suburban neighborhoods are not under constant police surveillance (thereby avoiding arrests unless they kill someone) and most suburbanites have money, health insurance and access to drug and alcohol treatment. I am always amazed by peoples inability to put themselves in someone elses shoes. I am glad that I have had the experience of living with and relating to people on both sides of the "tracks".
