Do You Believe We Should Decriminalize All Drug Use the Way Portugal Does?
Question by No Chance Without Thor: Do you believe we should decriminalize all drug use the way Portugal does?

Answer by Katie W
Basically, you can’t.
You can be supportive –encourage her to quit, or go to police to turn in her dealer, or to go to rehab, drive her to support groups, etc — but YOU CANNOT TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR HER PROBLEM, even if she tries to give it to you. It’s handy for addicts to hand off the problem to someone else, so many try to give away the responsibility to a friend or family. This doesn’t work. This absolves them of failing, and gives them no responsibility/investment in success.
