Do you include functioning alcoholics in that group, or just people who use the 'bad' drugs?
Yes, I do.
Your 99% of addicts stat is made up war on drugs bullshit by the way, and you clearly don't know what a functioning alcoholic is if you think they can't be parents.
For example some addicts are able to keep their shit together during work hours and evenings but use alcohol as a coping mechanism when their responsibilities are done. They are still addicts, but in their spare time.
A lot of other addicts are similar, addicted to pain meds or who use weed as a coping mechanism but outside of work and care hours.
When you have children, you don't have spare time.
if you dont have a medical or biochemist degree (and probably even then if this is your take) i suggest you take your nonsense elsewhere because frankly its incorrect and it has caused untold problems by preventing adequate care from being administered for people's mental health. for example one doesnt need to look any further than psychedelics and depression caused by issues in the parasympathetic nervous system. most addicts are self medicating (often poorly and ineffectually) because of assholes like yourself limiting their and our ability to treat them effectively.
I have a teenager, and while some days were pretty busy, there has always been some spare time before bed.
might want to give them a drug test.. kids these days
Give them drug tests to make sure they aren't getting ripped off.
