Drug plague must stop

The tragedy of the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife possibly at the hands of their son, is a reflection of U.S. citizenry overall. Reiner’s son was addicted to drugs. Stories tell us the 32-year-old had problems since he was 15 years old.

Many parents go through this anguish, but as long as Americans continue to crave the drug high, things like this will go on and on.

I went through two rehab sessions with a salesperson and experienced her two elapses. Cocaine was the villain in this case. I had to let her go. She could not kick the habit. She overdosed two years later.

This story repeats itself daily in our country. Our citizens just can't get enough. The supply never stops. Average folks to wealthy Hollywood types are addicted. Nick Reiner, Matthew Perry or Joe Average, the story continues.

Americans are the only ones able to cure this plague. Stop already.
