But you're billing this as being about safety so questions of legality are neither here nor there. My question remains: was she actually consuming enough alcohol to actually exceed an appropriate blood-alcohol level or not? Was she driving in a way that actually endangered people? Or are you just looking at a way to punish someone who chose drug use over you? I think I'm seeing your reasoning here: this person chose their drug use over me; therefore one of two things must be true: (a) I'm so unloveable that someone would choose being stoned over being with me or (b) this person is so severely and debilitatingly addicted that I'm just a minor casuality compared to all the damage she is in danger of doing. It's nice that you have sufficiently high self-esteem that you have clearly chosen (b) over (a)... well, nice for you anyway. You're obviously bothered by this woman's chronic stoner lifestyle and confronted her over it several times, eventually upping the ante to the point where you said "it's me or the drugs." She chose the drugs. But just because she is driving in an illegal way, it does not follow that she is driving in an impaired way.Yeah. She decided to trust that you would accept her, addiction and all. Sadly, you didn't. And now you're so angry that she won't sacrifice her addiction for you that you're willing to try and send her to jail.The person you fell in love with was the facade any addict erects when they meet someone they don't believe to also be an addict. We like to think that everyone who is addicted to a drug or activity is harmful to themselves and others because that's what drug war propagandists want us to believe. But that's crap. Go and read Peaceful Measures by Bruce Alexander and it can give you a picture of how many addicts manage their addictions just fine without harming others.Yeah. It sucks to discover that given a choice between their addiction and you, a person would choose their addiction. But it does not follow that this person will choose their addiction over the lives of innocent pedestrians; and you certainly haven't presented us any evidence of her actually doing so. I find it odd that after three posts, you have yet to offer one example of dangerous driving, carelessness or disregard for others' lives on the part of your ex.</blockquote>
