The consumption of illegal drugs can lead to devastating consequences including violence and loss of control.

“PCP is also known to make users violent and aggressive which when paired with delusions and paranoia and hallucinations, that can be terrifying! Because they will act on those false delusions that they're having with this very real violence and anger.”

Melanie believes that Michael has a history of drug use and that his previous behavior, such as frequenting known drug havens, is problematic.

“What concerned me most was these places that he was frequenting one of the clubs is known drug Haven and that he was bringing my daughter into these clubs”

Drug use is a recurring behavior that creates a cycle of struggle and occasional attempts at recovery.

“I ended up in Vegas for like I don't even really remember like maybe two, three weeks was doing a ton of like you name it like cocaine, Xanax, all everything under the sun”

Drug addicts require intervention, treatment, and recovery rather than being left on the streets to suffer.

“we've been studying addiction for over 150 years we know that people in addiction they require an intervention treatment and then recovery which is a lifelong process this is uh this is not uh this is not rocket science this is not super complicated we know how to deal with these problems”

Michael acknowledges that he has a history of drug use but asserts that he is currently drug-free.

“I have in the past uh but you don't now no sir”
