  • Don't judge ANY addict too harshly unless YOU have experienced severe withdrawal.

    Put him in jail?  Yeah, we gotta stay responsible for our actions but don't judge an addict unless you've been there...

  • @randy109 Prison is NOT the answer to substance addiction.

  • @420BudiZhighlife Agreed, he just said it for attention though so I wouldn't have even bothered. @madisonelectronic

  • corret only ops u cant bust

  • ive been through some bad withdrawals but have never committed a serious crime to get my fix. although i have lied and cheated people. when i WD i just suffer, really sucks. so many people dying of pain and its all overlooked or ignored. thats why its important to love yourself cause people dont give a shit

  • @TiredOldFart The problem i had with them is after awhile they dont do a thing.

    i shot 13 40s in 24hours once and still wasnt stoned.....but WD kicks in and you gota do it all over again.

    iv been stuck on methadone for 4 years but i was just so glad to get out of that fukt up scene.

    iv been slowly comming off the program and im sure ill never go back to using opiates.

    its just not worth it.

  • how do you cut your parents off?

  • @madisonelectronic shut the fuck up bitch, half of the addicts in da united states r fuckin white ppl, cus they think the government is safe or some shit, nd theyll trust them with sum pill and all there promblems will go away, nd truth is everyskin color cn gt addicted

  • prison has plenty of drugs to do, nd some r worse than ones n da street,theres nothing else to do, but either make money, do drugs or gang bang, nd u mite have to do all 3 just to not get ur ass fucked by a broom stick nd stay alive

  • @randy109 They shouldn't put addicts in jail, they should put them in rehab,

  • i wish there was a way to get that driven feeling without the actual oxy

  • fghhgh
