She went into foster care, because bio parents just sat around getting stoned constantly.

Often forgetting to pick up kids from school.

I get that many techies are pro-drugs. But a lot of people waste away on them.

For what it's worth, there's a difference between pro-drugs and pro-legalization. I personally think that legalization is our best hope for reducing drug use.

Yah, but prohibition doesn't work very well, either. Not to mention that there are lots of responsible users of alcohol and other intoxicating substances.

Some people neglect their kids because of video games or TV, too.
