[QUOTE=Jaypee]Speed and heroin one. Not light stuff.
Another chance or immediate dispatch?
Obviously he's clean now, but he hasn't told us anything about the former problem. This is a band rehearsal place issue. I've posted this thing to several boards to get wide opinion. We use booze and hash heavily too, so we're really open minded about this issue.[/QUOTE]
I sorted through about 5 other posts, and it got back to arguing between "past is past, let it go" or not type thing. So, I'll leave my opinion out. I'll hand you an example from
my past as something to base this off of, ok?
I loaned $900 to two friends of mine, one my best friend. They wanted a loan to start up a little business to keep them busy in the summer and not turn back to drugs. They promised me at least more than my money back, and then went about setting up their little business out of the house of my best friend. 3 months later, they came to me and said "someone stole the money and everything we had, we can't pay you back". Two days later, I showed up to sort out details and press charges, and the two guys were smoking an ounce of pot in the garage. They'd just bought a quarter pound of weed and were smoking it the whole time instead of doing anything else with it. They also pawned my PS2 I left there to use between all three of us for when I showed up, which was fairly often.
So, if you are trusting this person with access to band equipment, you might want to consider that. My two friends were just potheads without any self-control. This person got over an addiction to two highly addictive drugs. Depending on his state of "getting over it", too much stress, or being frustrated
could turn that right around. Note, not saying everyone who smokes pot is like that btw.
