The Politics Of Addiction
Several years ago, two ten year old boys walked to the Stella Tirrell Park to play catch and maybe get to watch a Cranberry League baseball game. They were budding baseball stars themselves and loved to watch the older guys play and maybe pick up some pointers. They weren’t supervised by any adult, which was not unusual, because there were plenty of people around watching the game and Stella Tirrell was a safe place to play. Their game of catch was interrupted by an older boy, maybe sixteen, who asked if they were interested in trying some “pot”. One boy immediately refused, while the other more “adventurous” boy actually seemed intrigued by the offer. The “smarter” boy won out, despite the 16 year old’s persistence and the boys left.
