Sure I did. And while there are aspects of his life I wouldn't want for my family I also realize they were playing the role people expected them to play. I'm not endorsing drug usage though in the end the best way to kill the best may be to let it out of the cage (legalize it). I've done a few different drugs (nothing major although none is best) and honestly I smoked my fair share of pot in years past. It's not what the government wants to make it out to be. Pot like liquor only becomes a problem when a person decides to abuse it. Some other substances aren't quite so innocuous but again its all up to the user. In the same way guns can be used incorrectly so can drugs and liquor. In the end the user decides the outcome. Now can smoking pot become a stepping stone to using other drugs? Sure. However so can cigarettes. I would also say that almost every person I know - and I know some very fine people - have tried or used drugs during college or at one point in their lives. Of all those people do you know how many use today? Zero. Thats not to say its the best path to follow but rather an observation that its not the one way ticket to hell either. It's all about choices made by the user just as it is by the gun owner.
