All blanket statements are not true, including this one.

I said I would turn in a drug dealer, not a user. Unless the use came to that point where rock bottom had to hit them in the face. Stealing for drugs, unable to work, alienating family etc. Basically, an addict. I would do everything I could to get a user to quit before they turned into an addict.

But if they were dealing, I would turn them in. I don't care if it were my little sister.

Most of my experience has shown that addicts don't just up an quit. Granted, most of that experience is with people who got treatment. None of the ones I would call addicts just quit.

Only a very few of the ones I would call alcoholics just quit either. I know lots of heavy drinkers in college that just quit or cut down to social drinking. There is a difference.

Too bring it back to the topic of this thread, an addict is someone who can't quit, like Jolly. He had everything to lose by using, and just couldn't say no. That is the kind of guy who should have gotten treatment. The threat of 20 years was not enough to get him to figure that out. He is one of those guys that needs to hit bottom, then have someone slam his face into it repeatedly. Too bad he didn't have someone who cared enough about him
to do that before it cost him his career. Sympathy for addicts just enables them to stay addicted.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

I was definitely talking about dealers in my post. Several of them actually. I suppose everyone's experience is different though.

I would never turn someone in to a legal system that is broken and dysfunctional. If I had any faith that the system actually works, then perhaps, but I don't believe it does (and I'm certainly not alone).
