Is Drug Use or Drug ABUSE the Gateway for Other Types of Abuse?

Question by Heavy Pen: Is drug use or drug ABUSE the gateway for other types of abuse?
Could I be on the correct track?
Fact! People are going to take drugs. Good drugs: medical purposes,
So-so Drugs: recreational drugs, Alcohol, Marijuana.
Bad drugs: Abuse, Addiction.
Alcohol is a drug and is legal, a depressant actually.
There will all ways be drug use, and for some drug abuse and addiction.
So to redefine the question:
Is drug use in general, or the abuse of drugs that are one of the leading causes of child abuse, sex abuse, power abuse, and other negative forms of abuse?
Not the only, very unfortunately for the rest of us, there are people that abuse others that are not on drugs.(Mental Issues) I’m thinking there would be a lot LESS abuse, if people did not abuse drugs. The world does have all kinds of people.
The real question is: Shouldn’t the parents teach their children about drugs and drug abuse to help reduce other types of abuse?
Drug abuse is just the Band-Aid, for the real problem isn’t it? The gateway is trying to remove yourself from some inner pain.
For the most part, drugs are good, used in the wrong way/abuse, drugs are bad. Then there are a lot of other ways people deal with that same kind of pain. Go shopping, eat, laugh(the best), and more ways than I want to try and define.

Regarding the Legalization of Drugs: How Far Should We Go on the State Level?

Question by Grand Theft Pants™ (the 7th): Regarding the legalization of drugs: How far should we go on the state level?
I believe that the federal ban on drugs is Unconstitutional…so that makes it a state and local issue.

Would you support the legalization of say…marijuana?

the issue of marijuana isn’t that big of a deal to me…I don’t think it would be too bad if it was legalized.

How about Harder drugs like Crystal Meth?

Drug Rehab Centers Out West or Down South?

Question by P: Drug Rehab centers out west or down south?
I need to know of any good drug rehab centers out west or down south. Im working out a plan to send my sister to one. Shes 20 and is strung out on Oxy Cotin to the point that she shoots it in her arm. In the past my family sent her to one that was only about 20 mins away,and she was still at home and surrounded with it. i think i might have a plan that would work. i would like to send her out west and have her get clean and instead of bringing her back home to my moms house where oxy cotin is spreading like the plague i want to send her to my sister who lives in Germany to live for a few years until shes finally get a whole new look on life. at the same time my parents aren’t loaded. so cost is playing a huge role in this. there has to be places that have payment plans and such. i would appreciate some feedback. thanks
