Wow. Taking legal drugs by senior citizens is a perfect example of how difficult the "drug lifestyle" is. The possibility of drug overdose is very high for them with failing abilities and sometimes mixing these doses with a social cocktail (which most of them know should not be consumed.) Drugs as recreation or social escape is just plain dangerous behavior.
It is true though, fear contributed to death of this young man. He may have lived but in a very reduced state, possibly his whole life. Where did the insight come that put him on a path to seek such a way of life and with such ill serving companions?
Tolerance isn't going to prevent further sadness. What would help is that the community find a way to let all its youth know that they are open to finding ways to HELP them. This would include law enforcement outreach, judicial review of laws, and a proactive medical community fostering such beneficial outreach. The time to sleep and bury the shortcomings of a whole society by ignoring work is to be done is just shallow misguided thinking by a fearful people. Wake up community. The life you save could be your own, and also the life that could contribute greatness to your world.
