My best friend from childhood became addicted to oxycotin and from a helpless distance, I watched him spiral down from the top of his class to rehab and now prison. My roommate from freshman year in college developed a cocaine addiction that led to him getting beat up by dealers, arrested by the police, and disowned by his family.

Drugs like oxycotin and cocaine are terrible when given to people with mental issues, usually early childhood trauma. The addiction will turn a loved one into a criminal, and there's almost nothing the addict can do to overcome their fixation. Will power stops at the door of addiction.
Can you imagine how the right would use this if it were Michelle Obama that stole for drugs?

Note this. Rush Limbaugh in the mid 90's said this, well before he was busted for having illegal oxycotton:

"we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."
