After thinking on it, I do believe his point is this: People won't have to hide their addiction, and then their insurance will be forced to cover their recovery, especially if it's been illegal drugs.
Ergo, let's put all drugs on the same level ground - so everyone can get the help you need! I can't tell you how horrifying it is, to have someone in your arms begging for help - and yet when you call around, the places are ALL full for 3 months to a year, except the PRIVATE ONES! One girl wanted so badly to get off of Heroin, but I had only 3 days to get her help, before she lost her way again.
THAT is how nightmarish it is, and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with being a celebrity. Celebrities who're addicts, get their lives MAGNIFIED. But guess what? They can afford treatment!!
People who's lives are dramatically impacted by heroin and crack, they're stripping so they can get by, barely day to day. They aren't thinking of the future - only their next high, here and now.
So many lost, lost souls in the world. And LA isn't any different than the MidWest, nor Chicago, nor NYC!
If drugs didn't send people to jail, but to rehab instead, everyone would be so much better off.
Lindsay Lohan's JUDGE really cares about her - and has gone way above and beyond her duty. She's performed tough love, in trying to save her life.
This weekend, I hope Lindsay is reflecting hard on her life; seeing how much those around her, even her JUDGE truly cares about her. Or it could be her body also in the morgue, or buried and gone.
Last wakeup call off the booze & the pills, baby...only so many times before your body just gives out.
