Still one of most incredible photos I have ever seen. https://twitter.com/dmregister/status/1277938686013906946
Oglesbee was a felon that struggled with substance abuse and had been in and out of prison most of his life. He actually went to prison multiple times after that photo was taken. They say drugs ruin lives. Well, some do.
Meth was his drug of choice. We joke about meth users and ridicule their photos on the internet. That doesn't help. If you think it's as simple as people making a choice to use meth, I don't think you understand how it works. I have seen people give up everything, just for meth.
I pray for the day when marijuana is legalized so interdiction efforts can be focused solely on the actual problem drugs, like meth. Because it is a plague. Addicts are typically thrown away and forgotten as lost causes. Remember that they're people, capable of good and bad.
Jason Oglesbee was a person and on June 30th, 2009, a felon ex-convict saved someone's life under the most extraordinary and daring circumstances.
