Nor do I. Just clarifying.

I don't think how he contracted Hep C has any bearing on how heartbreaking and fucked up this story is.

Okay, that makes a bit more sense, but still I am pretty sure he's learned his lesson.

Ooh, just read the article again. Contracted Hep C from sharing needles with "speed freaks" back in the day. Man, that sucks. Sounds like it's hard for anyone who's used drugs to be approved for the list.

Oh man, that's heartbreaking to even think about. It makes no sense to me.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Does pot even affect the liver? I'm all for the "no alcohol" rule, that makes sense. But if he would have had morphine, would it have been the same? WTF is this? I have no way of understanding that logic and I hope every one who voted 'nay' gets Hep C.
