Had a brother who started pot at 14. He lasted until he was 44. As bright as he was, no great loss. He's buried in the National Cemetery in Florida, the Potter's field for Florida vets. (Before you blame PTSD, he spent 2 years at Ft. Campbell, getting wasted, before a UD. Somehow, I don't feel that qualifies for a "Thank you for your service.")

In my worldview, logic trumps emotion. I'm too much the agnostic, having known WAY too many hypocritical "Christians" to have any belief in what they were selling. It's why, if and when there is a CW2, I will, no doubt, be labeled a war criminal.

Everyone is going to die. What you contribute to the world before that is your legacy.

Druggies are the slow ones who would have gotten in the way of the mammoth. The Chinese simply executed them out of hand, recognizing a genetic weakness. Our current Morality forbids that kind of eugenic solution. (I might point out that you do not hear much of drug abuse in the PRC, or among the Asian population here in the US. Is it coincidence?)

Why not let them painlessly kill themselves, since they can't handle reality?

I thought it was GOD, our Creator, who decided on time of death. God has His reasons for keeping Him alive.

Why not let GOD decide?
Do you NOT think that HIS reasons might have some value?

Is this person's inability to cope with reality reason enough to die? I won't second guess our good Lord.
