As you may or may not know, marijuana recently became legal in Washington state. And because I like to read the news and about things around the world, I looked up what other countries are doing to control their drug problems. And that's when I read about the new "drug-shooting gallery" opening in Paris. So basically, it's an open area where drug addicts can .."do their thing"...under medical supervision. Lay out all your cards. Secrets in the open. I have alot of mixed feelings about this. On one hand I get that we have to be realistic. But on the other, I feel as if this is just a step in the process towards defeat. I mean, sure, laying cards out on the table is good. No secrets are good secrets. But this feels more like acceptance. Do we really want the world to become a place where doing drugs is acceptable? Someday everyone is just going to have to take a deep breath and think about where we're heading and if that's really where we want to go.
