Should we miss people who get involved in the wrong crowd? And how can we solve it

I wouldn't let my grandma drive while high on oxycontin. I would drive for her.

If she was drunk and kill someone I would be accessory on the murder. Under brazilian traffic law if you are a licensed driver and is a passenger on a car a drunk person is driving you are liable.

Well seems your laws are more strict that USA.  Anyways, it was a bad analogy but the facts remain that doctors are as much drug pushers as the local drug dealer.  Now that they are finally cracking down in USA the people that were addicted to opioid prescription drugs are turning to heroin which they started mixing with fentanyl.  Drug companies and some doctors are the main cause of the entire opioid epidemic that has been plaguing the USA the past decade or so.  They used to hand them out like candy and now they only realize how much destruction they have caused.

I guess you are missing my point.

Legal drugs addiction is bad as well, and people can die because of it. I would counsel a friend or relative using them but would keep close. On ilegal drugs or anything else that could put ME in jail I would put distance. I don't see a point in keeping close to someone that could drag you down.
