Really? I guess they never told you that you were a worthless piece of shit and that your parents didn't want you anymore. That bit really worked a number on my youngest brother.
When my dad went down for his "checkout" interview, he wouldn't sit for a smart assed 16 year old demanding answers to personal questions and dictating what he could or couldn't do, who he could and couldn't associate with. So, he "flunked" his checkout and wasn't allowed to attend open meeting or to come around the house once my brother made oldcomer. Regardless, he still thought my brother needed the Program, so he paid and donated and collected donations from friends, even though he wasn't allowed to see my brother.
Those delicious cold cuts you got for lunch sometimes? Fuck Art, he didn't buy them, even though he certainly had the means by then. Thank Louie DeFasio of Roma Deli in Pompano and John McNulty for soliciting those ongoing donations.
All the while, maybe even the night I remember sitting in the car out in the old orange grove w/ my dad while my mom attended open meeting, you sadistic sons of bitches were telling my brother that his dad loved his beer more than him. Poor Tommy, right? If only he knew the truth. But, alas, he's so thoroughly washed that he didn't believe me when I told him the truth.
He didn't get straight, either. I found out just a few years ago that the day he came home to help get me into Straight he was strung out on coke. He's been through 3 marriages while bouncing from one XA group to another. If you're going to take credit for anyone's success, then you have to take responsibility for his failure. After all, you turned him against his own father when he was only 14.
Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within the supervised routine of medical care.
