Legalization of Marijuana discussion

Just saying; My dad supports me, a hungry teen, pays an extremely over priced rent for this crappy house, pays child support to my mother, has a crappy job, has no college education. He's a coke addict, and further snooping around tells me he smokes pot as well. ><"

I am very sorry you and your family are in this situation.

Even so, it is true that for every person like your dad that manages to make ends meet for himself and his family, there are countless others who in that situation completely fall apart. Some people die, others go in and out of rehab, still others are so addicted they just buuy the junk and the rest of their lives drift away.
