Answer by HarleyGirlSD
Meth is used legally in the treatment of add/adhd under the drug name Adderall… which is now rarely prescribed because of the “stigma” attached to the drug, known on the street as “legal meth”.

Anyone Who Has Dealt With or Been Effected by Drug Addiction, Will You Please Answer?

Question by ddti: Anyone Who Has Dealt With or Been Effected By Drug Addiction, will you please answer?
I’ll spare you most of the details and get to the question. Brother: Addict, has lost EVERYTHING!! form job, car even 1 week old new born son & girlfriend, who left yesterday!! All because he chooses his addiction over anything & anyone. My question is: Do we leave him at his house (of which is getting evicted of in 3 days) to just let reality hit & Him as an ADULT figure out what he’s going to do?? Or is that wrong should we STILL be trying to be there convincing him to go to rehab. He has been to 4 rehabs and doesn’t seem to WANT help at this point, though I am sure that is the addict talking or thinking, not the TRUE person underneath. ADVICE? 🙁

Substance Abuse?

Question by jmontr: Substance Abuse?
Seeing Josh Hamilton made me think of a great question. Who is the greatest baseball player of all time who had or has a substance abuse problem? (Discounting alcohol) I personally like Darryl Strawberry.
Excluding steroids also.
Good answer Professor X, there is definately something about those NY Mets. Remeber a couple of seasons ago when they had several players in High Times magazine, sitting around a bong! LOL I think one of the players was Joe McEwing but cant remeber the others. I’m a Cardinal fan and my favorite abuser from Redbird past would have to be Lonnie Smith.
