subject matter in general should never be a problem and most here take poetry for what it is, while things like child porn are often viewed as taboo, drug poetry is okay 
(my thoughts)
the attitudes thing, it's what gives us our points of view. it's the basis of feedback, i've been around drugs most of my life and i have little but contempt for most users. so a kind poem about rockheads feels like an oxymoron. i like drug poetry to be as hard and harsh as it is in life. i'm not taking sides here or sticking up for any one, i'm on about this particular poem. while i enjoyed it, i didn't quite get the feel of someone who abuses their body by using rock/crack etc. i didn't feels their veins splitting.
