My wife's aunt and uncle lost their youngest son to an OD just under a year ago. He had been in and out of rehabs for years and it finally seemed to be working. 2 plus years clean, and then he gets a call from an old "friend". He died later that night with his girlfriend trying to break down the bathroom door to save him. Saddest funeral I've ever been to. We were with his parents on Christmas and they're still struggling and partly blaming themselves for what happened.

And for the record, he never smoked pot and wasn't much of a drinker. He got hooked on pain meds after a construction accident when he was in his early 20's.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
