Well, call it luck all you want. Others would call it inner strength.
It's like people who binge eat. Some people want to exercise and change diet habits, others actually do it.

Nope. I'm pretty sure judges don't accept the "Same Difference" defense.

But the thing is, it's not necessarily illegal everywhere in the States. In this case, it's considered illegal in his jurisdiction by those particular authorities. You get me?

It's being decriminalized in many areas already, maybe because the government realizes that imprisoning potheads is amazingly stupid. Do you honestly, or does anyone, honestly believe someone should go to jail for smoking cannabis?

Well just FYI, theres scientific reasoning behind addiction that I can't even began to touch up on in this forum ( and I wouldnt want to ) but please just don't look down too harshly on people with true severe addiction issues because you have "inner strength" and others don't.

I appreciate that and have read on addiction as well, but my opinion is "addiction" in any form (drugs, alcohol, overeating, etc.) is just another crutch used to alleviate personal responsibility or self-discipline. Granted, I'm not funded by the government to run those tests, but having gone through the experiences, that's how I feel anyways. It's not harsh, just honest

Well, perhaps with a little more life experience and maturity you'll open your narrow mind just a little bit
God bless you kid.
