Question by queenthesbian: What do you think of a court ordered re-hab program that would deny a Christian the right to worship?
http://blog.au.org/2008/03/18/courtordered-faith-its-time-to-sever-the-tie-between-religion-and-rehab/

Details in the above article
A man was arrested for marijuana and the court told him he could go to jail if entered “re-hab”. Once he was in re-hab, he was not allowed to practice his religion. He was not allowed visits with his clergyman, his prayer book was confiscated and was threatened with jail if he didn’t get with the program.

When a family member of his complained, they was told the young man had given up his religious freedom when he “signed up” for the program.

By the way, this man rec’d no actual drug re-hab services, the whole program was centered upon destroying his religious convictions.

Question by Anonymous Anonymous: Why is it illogical to argue that marijuana should be legal because alcohol is more harmful, yet legal?
Is it not reasonable to expect the legal substances to be safer than the illegal ones? Preventing potential harm to oneself/others is the basis for outlawing substances in the first place, right?

Please only answer my question, no ramblings on the topic in general.

Answer by tomusiaka
You should not assume that a substance is less harmful just because it’s legal. There are many legal drugs in pharmacy that are much more harmful to you than marijuana and some other drugs that are illegal. Also, glues and other chemicals that can make you high are legal but they are very harmful to your body.

Question by Bri: Do teachers, teachers aide, or school counselors make good money?
I wanna enroll for college and I have no idea what i wanna do in life. The only things that seemed pretty cool and seemed right for me was being a teacher and getting an educational degree plan which will be a Certificate of Completion or an Associate in Applied Science. My question is…. CAN YOU MAKE GOOD MONEY WITH A DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE IN EDUCATION?

Answer by neniaf
Teachers aides NEVER make good money. Teachers and counselors can occasionally do reasonably well, but teaching is known as a poorly-paid profession over all.

Question by candigal: What comes to mind when you think of a “drug addict”?
Are “drug addicts ” bad people? Is drug use a choice? What is the eccomomic status of most people who use drug? What are some of the names people have for drug addicts? Do you think treatment works? How are “addicts” different then “non-addicts”? This is for an essay I am writing. Thanks for your help. Also do you think that there is a certain eithnic group that has a higher rate of substance abuse?

Answer by Hell’s Own Harlot
Drug addicts are not necessarily bad people. They lack self control and are under a notion that what they want must be gratified RIGHT NOW. They lack any type of concern for how their behavior effects others and personally, I consider it a slow suicide. Treatment only works if you want it to. You have to be motivated and most drug users aren’t. There are not any particular ethnic groups that are more prone to use than any other. You have losers in every race of people.
