To me a drug is a drug is a drug. I find a simple distinction between legal and illegal works for me.
Some people go to great lengths to justify their use of illegal drugs. For me there were a few questions - #1 would be what is up with that person that he needs to numb himself with a substance, and #2 would be what is up with ME that I need to work on.
Others will be along soon to share their experience, strength and hope.
