Give the guy a break. I've never taken any pills but have plenty friends who have, and they are all good people. That man was prob. just trying to provide for his family. Yes, i know thats what jobs are for but the economy has gone to the dogs and its hard to get a job if you have a bad background. I don't believe he ever made anyone buy pills from him. God should be the only judge for drugs, no gown and no gavle. This is my opinion.

I was an adict and through God and lots of counselling I have now been off the stuff for 1 And a half years. When I was using I was a scumbag and I will say if the laws were tougher even up to the death penalty I would probably of never used the first time. Matt you are right in my opinion, but maybe give people a chance the first time they are caught, i.e drug court, etc.. If they truley want help they will take advantage of it, if not lock them up for a long time so they can no longer affect the children of our community with their brand of death!

It is sometimes hard to understand addiction.It does not make you a bad person.You would be surprised to know who really is an addictI became an addict because I had to take pain medicine(long term) for an accident I had .I did not sell drugs or go to Florida but I knew a lot of people who did.I got help and I am 2 1/2 years clean.THANK GOD !I know the things that go through your head when you need to get a pill to keep from being so sick.It is terrible because the dope controls everything about you.It also alters your feelings and you get the "I don't care" attitude.This is a major problem and there are plenty of doctors in this area willing to give a Rx for the right amount of money.I had to use Suboxone to get clean.Prayer and faith in God was a must also.This is a problem for everyone and we all need to work together to help get rid of this problem.Lewis Smith has had a lot of chances and I do think that he needs to go to prison.
