And how will it benefit society if addicts are labeled as morally inferior people and are not given the help they need to perhaps become productive members of their communities? It won’t. Does that mean that anyone who has used and abused addictive mind altering substances to the point of addiction isn’t responsible for their actions, exonerated of any wrong doing?

Many children are put on mind altering drugs every day, and they are very smart children. Some just need a little more love, and attention from their parents at home.
