Not an addict, because addiction is a sign of weakness, but I would not have any problems taking advice or inspiration from someone who takes drugs provided they remained objective and did not discriminate against people. In fact Bill Hicks experimented with a variety of drugs and I view him as one of the most admirable and honest people who ever walked this planet.

Maybe. There are some pretty decent drug addicts out there. Most have been dealt a hard blow by life and took drugs as a means of escape. Not wise but that doesn't mean they don't have anything to offer the world. Being a drug addict is more than a mind thing. The physiological aspects of addiction cannot be neglected. What may cause one person to become addicted may not even cause a dent in another person's body. It has a lot to do with heredity and the strength of our body.

America did. Coke snortin' George. An addict is never 'cured', they are forever in recovery and when they slip, they fall further than crawle back up from the last time. So, No, I would not personally choose one.........and No, I did not vote for Bush

There is such a thing as redemption, there is no such thing as someone who lives a perfect life. If such a person is productive clean and sober, and has overcome what is needed why not. Nobody ever learned such lessons from someone who didn't fall down.

once an addict always an addict...but if he/she were reformed, you bet I would. I think it would be a great example of how to make things right with yourself and your community.
I think in higher level jobs mandated testing/monitoring may be appropriate.

Not if they currently were an addict. But if they had recovered and they had the skill and ability to do the job, I don't see why not.

Theoretically, yes, if their full brain capacity was still intact. The sad thing is, not many drugs will leave your brain unharmed.

George Bush is a former cocaine and other drug addict as well as an alcoholic. And he was mistakenly elected twice !

What people do in their past is one thing, what they do in the present is another. If the person were "using" again, no way!
