What Country Does the Most “hard” Drugs Per Capita?
Question by Edward: What country does the most “hard” drugs per capita?
I’m thinking about the addictive drugs. Cocaine, heroin, meth, and even prescription drug abuse like oxycodone and xanax. I know drug abuse is very prevalent in the U.S. (with prescription drug abuse becoming very prevalent), but who’s the best at self-destruction?
Best answer:
Answer by O Tuga
The U.S. Without a doubt. Americans are the biggest drug consumers in the world. Statistics show that.

Bad Situation and I Need Your Opinions; Law Enforcement and Lawyers Please Respond?
Question by Shawn: Bad situation and I need your opinions; Law Enforcement and Lawyers please respond?
Situation:
My father was killed in a motorcycle accident almost a year ago. Since that happened my mothers nerves have been a wreck. She finally began hanging out with friends again and has since met a new group of friends that she spends most of her time with. Around October 2011 she met a man and began hanging out with him exclusively. I was very proud of her for this because she would tell me how this guy is an aspiring pastor and that he’s very religious and that he has a good job. So to this point I’m satisfied with the situation and my younger brothers are as well. Around the beginning of the year she expresses to me that her, now boyfriend, will be moving in with her. I told her that whatever makes her happy I’ll support. My statement of that does have limits though.
