I Am An Addict!
Edited on Mon Jan-12-09 12:06 AM by wildbilln864
" The only problem is that I live in a society that would rather have me sitting in a jail somewhere drug-free and violent instead of letting me have a joint after work every day. Granted, I know the damage it will do to my lungs and brain, but I think a fried brain sits in a skull prettier than a fresh one splattered among the brains of potential victims."

1. If you think pot fries your brain..
You have worse problems than being an addict.

:eyes: The author believes evidently that it does. I don't though, quite the opposite in fact.

I'm not used to seeing links done that way on DU.. It's almost always a URL and is considerably more obvious.

Edited to add: Now that I've looked at it I agree with it..

The OP doesn't make very clear the crux of the link's main point, which is:
I'm addicted to the fact that I have broken this infamous circle of family violence that I could have easily been a MVP for. I love the fact that yesterday, today and tomorrow, no matter what happens, I will never repeat what I have escaped from.

3. Interesting article...
The subject of the article has found a way to enjoy his life and to live in peace -- it is too bad that society would treat him as a criminal.

I know a lot of people like this.
