We're listening, and now we have more questions ...

Howdy, readers.

We just want to let you know we're still here and we're still reading what you have to say.

After reading your amazing comments, we have some questions for you.

One trend we've noticed is the number of "functioning users." From nurses and engineers to moms and office professionals, it seems there are plenty of recreational users. Some of those recreational users are admittedly dependent on their drug(s) of choice, but they are still maintaining a working, presumably successful lifestyle.

In other words, they're not the stereotypical criminal drug user. Rather, they're upstanding and contributing members of society. Your pharmacist, your mailman, your realtor, your banker.

So here's our questions for you:
-Do the "functioning recreational drug users," consider yourselves users?
-Do you feel alone in this lifestyle or are your friends like you as well?
-Based on your co-workers and social circle, do you think drugs are not only more common but more acceptable than we're led to believe?

Oh, and help us out, too: Can someone explain to us what "cola" is?

Keep writing. We're listening. And tell your friends to chime in. We're all ears.

And, once again, thank you.
