She lives in my brother's neighborhood. Ha.

You cant just stop at punishing a couple companies, like beer, tobacco. You also have fast food places and hundreds of companies who sell items that are bad for you. It is up to the person to make their own choices. Cigarettes, wine, beer, fast food. And we might even discover soon that cell phones are dangerous.

I take FDA approved "prescription" drugs. I have read all the pharmacology to include the benefits and side effects. At times the cons out weigh the pros....

It is amazing to me this society's stance on what is acceptable and what is not.

If some big agency tells you its safe, and the gov backs them up, you swallow it....hook, line, and sinker....

Since there are MANY forms of drugs available today, legal or otherwise, it becomes a matter of one's own ability to control what one chooses to swallow, smoke, drink, inject or otherwise.

The anti-drug campaign is winning in that use of mariquana is down among teens....but they didn't count the number of youths now engaging in "pill-swapping" with the stash from their parents "legally obtained prescripts".....

The woman in this report deserves to be punished for her crimes. But so should Budweiser, Phillip Morris, and Glaxo-Smith Cline.

"So for those that want to legalize drugs think about what the drugs do to society. These are "legal" drugs...and they are still abused."

bradh, bad point!

The idea of legalizing drugs is not that doing so will prevent drug addiction, it will prevent the assorted secondary issues associated with their illegal use.

Making them illegal has not prevented their use; as we know from alcohol, prohibition doesn't work. It just lines the pockets of organized crime and gangs.
