Tonight, I had the displeasure of discovering that one of my high school friends has landed himself back in jail, for substance abuse. The facility he’s at looks like it is a pretty good one, maybe even good enough to turn his life around. But, I’m still feeling a little sad to know that he wasn’t able to make his reformation stick the first time around.
I don’t have a big moral qualm with drug use, if I’m being honest. I believe that if the person is an adult, they should have the right to put whatever they want into their own bodies, as long as they don’t then go driving or engage in other behavior that might injure a party other then themselves.
Still, he’s already been in trouble for this. I was hoping that they would have effectively “scared him straight” so to speak.
