Many of you like the questions and answers on this blog. I just found another one from ‘Amber D.’ who asks
My boyfriend and I have been dating for four years now and he has been addicted to Methadone for 5 years. He thinks it is perfectly safe and that there are no long term affects of this drug.

An Answer to the Question: California’s 3 Strikes Law, Amend It NOW!!!?
I thought I’d post this question from Rachel B since a lot of people seem to be asking it lately:

Tell me my fellow Americans, what are your views on this?
