Question by Heavy Pen: Is drug use or drug ABUSE the gateway for other types of abuse?
Could I be on the correct track?
Fact! People are going to take drugs. Good drugs: medical purposes,
So-so Drugs: recreational drugs, Alcohol, Marijuana.
Bad drugs: Abuse, Addiction.
Alcohol is a drug and is legal, a depressant actually.
There will all ways be drug use, and for some drug abuse and addiction.
So to redefine the question:
Is drug use in general, or the abuse of drugs that are one of the leading causes of child abuse, sex abuse, power abuse, and other negative forms of abuse?
Not the only, very unfortunately for the rest of us, there are people that abuse others that are not on drugs.(Mental Issues) I’m thinking there would be a lot LESS abuse, if people did not abuse drugs. The world does have all kinds of people.
The real question is: Shouldn’t the parents teach their children about drugs and drug abuse to help reduce other types of abuse?
Drug abuse is just the Band-Aid, for the real problem isn’t it? The gateway is trying to remove yourself from some inner pain.
For the most part, drugs are good, used in the wrong way/abuse, drugs are bad. Then there are a lot of other ways people deal with that same kind of pain. Go shopping, eat, laugh(the best), and more ways than I want to try and define.    Read more...
