RE: Prop 64 passes Colorado election
I think by the time You've lived a 'few' decades, we all encounter our own experiences with addiction. It's impossible to not encounter it nowadays. Again I agree with NUG...if you are on a path to addiction, alcohol and cigarrettes, I would bet, are more the culprit than Marijuana, simply because kids see it used by their parents since they were born. They are not 'stigmatised' like MJ is, ('Gateway drug', leads to Cocaine and Heroine), so the kids expirement there first with their friends.
I have said multiple times, that I am not a 'big' drinker. The main reason for that, is my brother and sisters and I grew up in a household having to witness the repurcussions of an alcohol addicted, 'angry' drunk for a parent.
He never confronted, or admitted to it as a 'problem'....in fact the holes in the walls that he would punch...as a family, we would just ignore them, and my Father never even attempted to repair them, even though he would say, he didn't remember making them (we finally had them fixed for our Mom a couple decades ago). Perhaps, we left them there as a reminder of the consequences of alcohol abuse.
I fully understand the consequences of substance abuse, in this case, the legal kind. and in all my years of living, I have never encountered the rage and destructiveness from an MJ user that I witnessed from the abuse of acohol. So 'at least' I'm not speaking without my own experiences on the subject.
(My encounters with the Cocaine addicted are far more dangerous and scary... Rarely have I seen people transform into monsters...fiends really, as I've witnessed with 'Coke heads" needing a 'fix'...  ... and these encounters didn't happen in a back alley.... Most of these encounters were when I attended Catholic school into college....so ya, not only homeless, drug abusers. It can happen to children of affluent, well to do parents too....)

Yes you're right...Haley is totally my addiction. I keep waiting to get tired of her and her music and the waiting...it just ain't happening.
DH is dear husband I believe, although I never call him that in real life! He's a vet so I'll go take your advice right now!  Yesterday, as I was driving home from work, I put on Listen Up in the cd player. I admit, I haven't listened to it for a while. (I wanted my family to think i really am ok..Haha)
So I was thinkin, maybe Haley's voice isn't that good, maybe I am tiring of it... By the third song I found myself turning up the music. Skipping to Spiderweb, I was blasting the music, singing the words and loving every moment of it.
No, I love the music, and I love her. No turning back...

No, I love the music, and I love her. No turning back... You should do what I do to change it up a little.
In my car, I have a disc with her and Casey's performances on AI (with the duets of course). I have a disc with many of her pre Idol performances, Like a Star, yacht club, jazz orchestra etc. I have a disc with a bunch of her club tour performances. And recently, I've made up a disc with her Lollapalooza performances, with Slash and Myles, IHeart performances, Carnegie Performances and Stageit performances.
