Agreed. How can drug use not affect your thinking and behavior? I would bet however, not many parents or children declare, “When I grow up, I want to be a drug addict.” He and his Father committed serious crimes for which they must be held accountable. However, my response, is there is something deeper at work with Hunter. Again, please don’t assume I am condoning his atrocious behavior or senior Biden’s. I am not! According to many there is always a mind-body connection. Feelings and emotions (not the thoughts behind allopathic Western medicine model) are the root cause of illnesses. Unresolved emotional issues around drug addition include, “The irresistible need to consume shows a great fear of seeing myself as I am. I prefer escape and unawareness. Not knowing how to love myself, I can’t imagine the people around me loving me and appreciating me. I am afraid of failure. I need so much to be recognized and loved that I am ready to consume toxic products even if death can result from them. I have difficulty in entering into contact with others, expressing my frustrations or my despair. Despair, shame, extreme escape, fear of the unknown, and of taking on one’s responsibility are motives. Drugs are a refuge, to protect me against myself. Causes: delinquency, absent parents, introversion, neuroses, emotional or sexual compilations that I try to repress by doping my mind. Cocaine: These stimulate productivity, so I seek success, Love, recognition. Heroin: I ask myself how far I idealized my mother or an influential woman in my life whom I considered as a heroine: do I still have this opinion, or did she disappoint me or betray me?" All ideas to ponder into the bigger picture behind his and others' behavior who struggle with these issues. One should also ask, how deep down the rabbit hole does Joe Biden and his political career go—and is this a clue into the root cause in the issues above?

Ya gotta wonder!
