Last year I worked in Drug and Rehab with the Salvation Army. I think we could both agree that we are glad it is not us that is doing that brain melting substance. People who are addicted to that stuff are on a terrible road that is hard to come back from.
I am not saying they should be given a pass, because you don't want to be an enabler.
People who are addicted are sick and it is a medical and psychiatric issue, which needs support, therapy and active participation in the recovery process. It's sad, many don't make it, and their lives are dragged through the mud.
We can't judge the guy we don't have all the details. I have seen the picture you are talking about, and it may well be he is off his face with that, but certainly he could use the excuse, there was nothing in it, or it was just a fun picture we took, there are all sorts of excuses that could be used.
Bottom line, addiction is a disease, it needs a lifelong commitment to change, and chances of relapse are very high, to those very committed, it can take several times of in and out of rehab before it finally starts to click.
Would be so embarrassing to have your private business out there on the street.
