Drugs and Addiction

Okay, I'm starting another contest (and procrastinating more on work I need to be doing =/)
Obviously, the topic is drugs and addiction.

I want really wonderfully written poems on drugs and addiction. Any view of them, love them, hate them, both. I don't want rhyming poems unless you are great at it.

**Dirty pretty and prose is encouraged**

I would love to have some of my favorites enter and hopefully find some new ones too.


Read the rules and follow them, I'm not too strict with the topic and there aren't too many.

***You should be able to read the rules if I'm going to read your entry.***



x♥x

RULES)
*AUTHOR'S NAME IN NOTES
you never know, you just might be so amazing that I have to go read your other stuff right away
*no bashing (poets or addicts), otherwise your kidneys might turn up for sale on ebay =]
*cuss if you want, I honestly don't care
*no erotica, not a fan, they won't win, etc.
*Spell check is your friend, believe it
*Good grammar always helps *hint* *hint*
*Don't type like you're having a seizure. It's dIsTrAcTiNg
*If you want to reserve a spot, that's fine. Just make sure you come back to it.


You might want to check back later

and like usual I'll add more shiny things, points, hms, if anyone enters blah blah blah


I'll try to comment on all entries but be patient with me as I kinda have a lot going on



***Don't enter anything I've already commented on***



**UPDATE: I'm only allowing one entry per person from now on and no more prewrites, since I've gotten so many entries.

    I would enter, but I'm terrrible at writing at the moment, can't come out with anything.
    But it would be a good idea as my Dad is a drug rehabilitation officer.
    So no telling him how drunk I get or that I took cannabis, would be bad on his CV

      I'm sorry. I lost track and I thought that I left quite a few without comments. I didn't single yours out or anything. I'll make sure to comment it.
