And I totally agree with your overall point, about the law not stopping any addicts.
I think you said it beautifully at the top of the essay when you said — “The Law does not enter into the mind of an addict. It isn’t the last thing on their mind—it isn’t even there.” — I was an addict for more than 10 years and I couldn’t agree more with this summary.
Dee, this is amazing. This was a work from the heart that no doubt took an extraordinary amount of time and effort. You left me with a lot of things to think about. I appreciate that. Thank you.
Well done on a mind bending, comprehensive history Dee. The questions you pose at the end are excellent. We need hero’s like you to keep shaking the tree!
This was such a great essay!
It is so in-depth and well-reasoned.
