Here's a local DJ Tommy Smith arrested for DWI and few other charges. These are the stories from 2 of our local stations where I read the news. Yes, I read news. I can't sit in front of a television and watch commercials for alcohol and prescription drugs. Both of those products are involved in this story.
Now I have comments on both sites concerning my thoughts of this.
First thought: Would he be receiving this attention if he was to have a choice in the recreational products he consumed?
Second thought: Why would anyone continue to use a product if they knew it would control their life, instead of them controlling the product?
Third thought: This is proof that everything the government approves and claims to be the only legal options isn't the right option for everyone.
The legal options vs the right options.
Our government is made up of people, people make mistakes. Not all of them are good though. By claiming the legal options are the only acceptable options for all the people our legislators who we pay have essentially obligated themselves into the position of accepting responsibility for those damages and deaths associated with they claim to be right.
