That is a good point. It seems to me that there should be some contracting in place with some govt assistance. This would be similar to my past DARPA contracts.

With a govt grant, you spend as you please. With a research contract, you have certain milestones, reporting, and deliverables.

It seems that a case of CO poisioning should be handled similarly. There should be a set of rights and a corresponding set of responsiblities for a disability program. I can't really fault an individual for the shortcomings of a whole system.

(Aside, there were several years where the contracts that I managed were among the top 5 highest federal contracts by dollars in the city of Pittsburgh)

Never mind the welfare issue, can you fault an individual who claims to have suffered slow CO poisoning and who then claims to smoke?

That's what AA and the drug rehab centers support. What can I say?

As far as I know, the only folks to admit in Cellar posts to going thru AA &/| rehab are me, Bri, and Mari. Out-Patient is serious enough. I was a Residential Member, which means I lived at the rehab place for two weeks.

I was not among them. But, the smokers gathered together and did some serious smoking. That was the only vice allowed. And they did it with a vengence.

At some AA meetings, there was a group of cigar smokers I was friends with. I didn't smoke, but just hanging with these guys for 20 minutes and I caught a second-hand buzz OUTSIDE. Now, I'm a really MJ stoner. So, I know a buzz when I see one.

Recovery programs are OK with smokers, they even Enable Tabacco.
