It's all very well you bringing sweet old ladies and innocent children into the mix but these are far more likely to be abused children or medical drug addictions. I'm referring to adults who choose to take drugs for recreational use. Lets be clear about that otherwise we're covering a huge minefield of issues.

yes maybe to speak of old ladies and children was patronising and manipulative , but these people are addicts as well. i agree that being addicted is not a position of strength, but i disagree that they are necessarily 'pathetic and useless'. and yes addiction does cover an area with a huge minefield of issues, you need to accept this if you're going to enter into the debate with a degree of credibility.
