[Sir Krustin]

I don't have a lot of time to post an eloquent diatribe, but here goes.

Deaths from drug o/d are a sad thing, but blaming the person using them or saying "they should know better" or "when will people ever learn" misses the point.

People use drugs to deal with an issue in their lives, bury the pain, seek release from frustration, whatever - I'm not saying the parents are at fault or any such nonsense, but when something like that happens then everybody should take a good hard look at what they could have done to help.

(nb, I've seen a lot of drug abusers come from dysfunctional families, though - food for thought)
