		<title>Interacting with Drug Addicted Loved Ones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To adults drugs are often that one thing you should never play with, and much like fire it ends up hurting everyone who is around.

		<description><![CDATA[By age 25, I was really addicted to Marijuana.  Anyone who tells you that Marijuana is not addictive is a complete liar.  This was my drug of choice hands down.  In fact, at the age of 25 I really didn&#8217;t drink that much or do any other drugs regularly.  My one and only drug was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jail Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, people make too many assumptions on how I feel about the legalization of marijuana. Marijuana does not need to be legalized because it tells our youth that it&#8217;s okay to do one more drug. So instead of saying it&#8217;s okay to drink, we are also saying it&#8217;s okay to drink and smoke pot. Why [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The problem isn&#8217;t making pot legal for all the &#8220;Normal People&#8221;.  The problem is making it legal for all of the addicts.  I remember that I really liked going to weddings and concerts.  Because it was okay to get really drunk or stoned because everyone else was &#8220;doing it&#8221;.  So making [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drug Rehab &#8211; Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the first or second day in the half-way house, I went out with friends to a movie &#8220;Get Shorty&#8221;. I think it was at the dollar theater at the time, so it was cheap. This was my first venture away from the half-way house since I was admitted to rehab. Somehow the conversation of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drug Rehab &#8211; Part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The person in charge of the halfway house at RidgeView was Susan. Susan was a very strong individual and very commanding.
