Man, this is bizarre and fascinating. The more I hear and experience of HLA, the more it reminds me of the Seed. Then I find out there exists someone who went through the Seed and then worked at HLA. Great! I'd love to hear from the dude cause I remember well the days of Seedlings harassing the alleged druggies (aka Seed critics) mercilessly and relentlessly, then posting guards and crying persecution when the scarry, scarry druggies (aka escapees and people who's friends had been abducted) would come by and shout "THE SEED SUCKS!" and moon the building.
This is like a Twilight Zone remake of a bad classic.
What other similarities and differences do you see between HLA and the Seed?
Either cocaine and marijuana are terribly dangerous substances, and breaking the law by consuming them is a major offense that should be severely punished, or these are minor, personal matters that do not really count in the big picture of a man's life. If the latter is the case, then the rationale for a bloody, costly and futile war against drugs simply disappears.
