try another castle - guess Im missing something, cause I dont really find a problem with Shapiro's article.
Anne Bonney - Me neither. I thought it was pretty good actually.
For a small number of people, weed is just a bus stop on the quick road to harder, more immediately dangerous stuff, but you and I aren’t talking about heroin or cocaine or PCP or their latest derivatives because it’s the same as jumping in front of a car, only slightly less efficient. Oh, by the way, if I catch you with that stuff – or prescriptions – I’ll take you to the police myself, and when you get out you will find that I’ve taken everything out of your room including your door and bed – and you’ll slowly earn them back over the next year with meetings and drug tests. Doubt. Me Not.Let it be known, that anti program radicals on fornits support these actions. Either they are illiterate, drtfa, or are hypocritical bastards (like 99% of the losers posting on fornits!!)
According to the author and the people here in agreement, if you find ANY substance in your teen's bedroom (that includes a viagra, muscle relaxer, a xanax, or ritalin a friend gave you?! Yep! It sure does!) then the following actions should be taken.
1. Call the police and have your child arrested and taken to jail and enter them into the criminal justice system, probation system and all it's life destroying glory!
2. Maintain a program like environment when the kid gets out of jail. No bed or door, or privacy. Because a xanax or ritalin or small bag of "real drugs" was found.
3. Make the kid beg and prove they can be trusted again over the course of a year
4. Force them to attend AA meetings and take drug tests
That sounds completely reasonable, not like a program at all, nope. The posters here aren't hypocritical for bashing AA meetings and programs, but then swallowing the argument hook line and sinker when presented in a politically correct way that sounds nice and warm and fuzzy. You people are truly idiotic and need to grow a fucking brain. Or go reexamine your anti AA and anti program views, or better yet, learn how to fucking read.
