Do Drugs ruin lives, or does prohibition of drugs ruin lives?

I haven't ever taken drugs. But the best advice I think anyone can give you Dave, is to stop hanging out with the guy who got you started. The fact that you stopped doing the drugs shows how strong you are.

I think you should speak with a doctor though. Taking those drugs for that long coud of caused side effects that should be checked, but also, those could just be withdrawl symptoms. Your best bet is seeing a doctor and telling him or her.

Goodluck. I hope there is no lasting damage and I hope you never see the grown man that got you started on it to begin with. And if you can't afford a doctor, there are free clinics.

Just google some in your area.

It's called rehab! After countless years of people telling you don't do drugs and how bad they are and you do them? That's on you man, that's on you.

And you're just so young...you messed up man big time. At least it's not heroin I guess?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
