Reply To: Drug crisis in Jewish community IS overrated!!!!

I can not believe I am writing this because it seems to be so obvious, but lack of evidence for something (especially your lack of anecdotal evidence) is not proof that something does not exist. I am very glad for you that in your circles you have not run in to any drug use and then you are so disconnected that you think that no one with a drug problem passes your scrutinizing eye, because it is so easy and obvious to know who is on drugs, but I know from personal experience and from friends and family members that even in the holy city of Baltimore there is a fire burning. I beg you wholeheartedly do not blind your own eyes because being naive will only make the problem worse. I know rachmana letzlan of individuals who’s children perished in their own homes and the parents “Never even had any clue our son was doing drugs.” Just because you can not pick out the people around you who have horrible anguish hidden in their heart and have fallen into a trap that has set the path to a living hell in front of them, does not mean it is not happening in your very own surroundings.
