Introduction Convicted felon, reformed drug trafficker, and the result of catching a Class A?, Disenfranchised from society by the government.

I spend most of my time creating ways to educate non-users about drug addiction, so that addicts are better understood and not thrown away.

I look forward to the day that treatment for addiction is given back to the medical field and taken away from the Department of Corrections. Is it a disease or not, already?!?

I do not believe in the legalization of hard drugs. I am a Christian, first and foremost; I am also a freelance media professional, an artist, and an activist with quite a soapbox collection.
