I started this Thread because i read an Article in my local newspaper about a 19year Old Man that Consumed the contents Of a Fentynal Patch In a matter of minutes.Since then I have been contacted by Jesse's Cousin ,And she explained some things to me about Jesse and his Life that The Newspaper did not say. I will stand my ground on how I feel about the situation.I agree With You MERCEDES116X Adults do need to Be held accountable for there Actions.I have the Deepest Condolences for Jesse' Family ,Friends....etc. More responsibility has to be taken on everyones part Parents ,Drugdealers, Druguser's ....etc im Just giving examples Im 23 No i don't Have Children ,Children require Alot of Care and responsibility to raise them.I don't think of drugabuse or Addiction as a Crime it's a Disease Im not saying Jesse was a Drug addict but thats how Society is going to Judge him. In America we treat Drug problems as a Evil Crime. when in fact it's A public health Issue we need to rehabilitate People With drug problems and Parents need to get more involved because Lets Face it most parents aren't .Most Parents let there sons and Daughters Do Whatever they Want ,whenever they want,Thats A Fact.You mothers and Fathers out there that are reading this You need to get more involved with your Kids lives.And Quit saying that you can't Control your Kids,granted kids are one thing,Once those Kids turn 18 they become Adults and they have to be Responsible for there actions.And If you see a Kid or young adult or older adult for that matter with a Drug problem they need to get that person Help.one way or another.I can't tell you how many Kids i Knew when i was growing that would Smoke POT ,and Drink with there Parents (very Irresponsible).Im not saying all do this and im not saying this was Jesse' case either.I was on the same path as this Kid at one Time in my life But i got help took care of my drug problem.and things in my life got alot better.Has Anyone here ever thought that Most Drug Problems start at Home,We live in a country where over 50% of marriages end in Divorce and in Most cases the mother get's stuck raising the Kids full time and God bless every single Mother and father out there thats Doing it.Look im not saying this is everyones Case, Or every kid that Smoked POT with there parents will be a drug addict,Or That Kids that Come from broken homes are gonna all become drug addicts,
All im trying to say is I feel Most Drug Problems are not a
Crime it's a Health Problem in my Opinion.And Adults need to Be Held Accountable for their actions .Im sure most of you are saying that those are 2 different things and don't relate to each But in America there is too many Avenues for Help And free help at that if your abusing Prescripton drugs or Designer Drugs...etc I dont care who you are you know what you are doing is Dangerous And Life threating among other problems they can cause , If you feel you have a Drug or substance abuse problem or know Someone who does You can get Help it's not Hard at all I know i did it.I dont want to see want to see another Person Die from a Drug overdose and at such a young age!!.
