I've talked to a lot of people and everyone has an opinion of who's at fault for the current levels of drug abuse in this country. How do others on this site feel, is it the people who use them that are causing the problem? Is a user the evilness, or the substance they used? Possibly the knowledge they had of the chemical, controlled by those around them, and what they were led to believe at the time they tried it. Bill Clinton smoked pot and George W. Bush used cocaine, yet they both have run our country for 2 terms, do we just like to elect villains? Maybe the dealers who push them or the people who make them? I think it's society that regulates how we view them or control them. I read a post about a man who ingested Bath Salts, then pulled a gun on his wife and kids before shooting himself in the head. The wife blames the makers of the bath salts; they caused this by trying to make a buck. Yet I my mind, I don't think they people who designed the salts were thinking it would be used to "trip on." To me the only things that did what they were designed to do, in that situation, was the bullets and the gun. The man made the decision to use the salts in the wrong way, and society who regulated that the salts are legal and okay to use but meth is a horrible thing, so you're a monster if you use it. Had that man used meth, meth being designed for getting high, would he have taken the same actions? Many people want to point blame when tragic accidents happen but that doesn't ever fix anything, how do we as a society take a progressive action to improve the views as a whole in hopes to slow down, because we can never stop it, the destruction of our humanity though the use of mental and physical changing drugs?
