Internet drug pushers
A good friend notes “The Internet has turned into one big drug distribution center. A large portion of spam is about” drugs.
This has not gone unnoticed. It seems all-too-easy to get drugs; yet, my work centers around not prevention but rather early intervention. These drug users are all around us, usually going undetected because those close don’t know that the occasional out-of-control behaviors they witness or hear about are subtle clues to addiction.
The tragedy stems from the myth that “I don’t do drugs” if the drugs are legal. Hardly anyone seems to grasp the idea that a drug capable of causing distortions of perception and memory, damaging the neo-cortex and allowing the limbic system a controlling interest does the same thing to the addict whether legal or not.
