Answer by Doctrine365
Maybe, and WTF are you doing operating a vehicle with drugs or alcohol in your system? Not to be a jerk, but I am when it comes to people endangering my life and my family’s well being on the road. If you want to f**k up your life do it at home or have someone else drive.

There are better ways to face the harshness and realities of life. I’ve been kicked around and suffered more than most people ever will and I never touch drugs, rarely drink and am pretty happy.

Gotta figure it out, man. Poison won’t help.    Read more...
