Subject: message to gareth

I wish to take this opportunity to make a complaint towards an area of your website. Yesterday amongst many others I attended a funeral to pay my respects to an old school friend (not kings) who had died tragically at the age of 19. The cause of his death was drug abuse.

Using characters such as Mark the ex heroin addict on this website is not in any way funny or clever. Neither is doing a drugs rating report. You may think that things like this make you look cool Gareth, but they don't in the slightest. The only status they give you is that of another fool gloryfying drug abuse. The positive image that you and so many others are making about drugs is alot of the reason why people turn to them, but they never know about the grief, loss and destruction they can cause until it is too late.

My friend was outgoing, fun loving and talented. He had so much ahead of him but his life was cut short in a terrible way and his family and friends can only grieve such a huge loss.

Gareth if you wish to experiment with drugs yourself that is your decision. However please don't encourage others to by gloryfying drug use. The thought of how many pro-druug films, books or articles that have in the long run led to deaths is sickening. Please don't have this website as part of that culture.
