I think she is a hero to tell her story. I feel so sad for her, my heart breaks.

[iamcasihart]

You would never tell your daughter that you were heavily into drugs? That makes you a liar. I, for one, am proud of Mackenzie! You act as if she is 90 years old and has no life left to live! How is this NOT cathartic and healing for Mack? Think of all of the people that she has and will continue to help with HER TRUTH. Incest is not a "private matter that the family should handle." Would you tell your daughter that if her uncle or brother raped her?

By the way, cocaine and opiates (two drugs that I classified as street drugs) are both Schedule II in the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The reasons for this placement are that the substances are highly addictive and lead to years of psychological dependence. Marijuana, another street drug, is a Schedule I; and nowhere in my former post did I mention otherwise.

What are you arguing with this comment? You contradict yourself twice and designate street classification to drugs that are only schedule 1 in North America. Large load dopamine causes tremors and hallucination as a secondary and rare side effect that denotes OVERDOSE, it's not a usual side effect of the drug.. This just seems like a whole lot of blah, blah, blah to me so that you could slip that you concur that clinical grade drugs don't cause paranoia by unnoticed.

[lesterclaypool1]

No answer after all this time? Not even an apology for your shit reading comprehension making you attack me for no reason? Whatever.

[lesterclaypool1]

Street drugs cause paranoia because of the bathtub process by which they are created and the harmful cuts that end up in them. Clinical grade cocaine and heroin do not carry the side effect off paranoia.

In fact, Jimmy Page, a known heroin addict, had the same problem. He increased security around his hotel room because he feared an assassination attempt.

But Mackenzie and her father often shot up cocaine mixed with pure heroin, which causes paranoia after long years of use. Paranoia is not shame but imagined threats to the user, who's sense of normal is distorted by repeated drug use.

I don't know how long the drug trials lasted but long-term users have reported an extreme sense of paranoia.
