Why he used

"Al Gore III was driving about 100 mph on the San Diego Freeway when he was pulled over and deputies found a small amount of marijuana plus Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said".

Really. The sad part is not that Mr. Gore believed that, but that Mr. Amormino wants to believe it too...

No one uses THC, Benzodiazepine, Opiates and Amphetamines (what a combo!) "for Attention Deficit Disorder". We use drugs to shield ourselves from reality. Until we learn a new way to accept reality and live life on life's terms, we will continue to find reasons to think that we deserve to use.

Poor me... Poor me... Pour me... another drink.
