Yes, it is guesswork on my part. But given Yazz's difficult childhood, issues with his father etc., my gut feeling is that he was a ticking time bomb, and on this occasion, we got out before it was too late, which frankly, is a rarity for our club.
I think it's too easy to discount the effects of trying drugs. I know friends who have/would again become hopelessly addicted from a single puff or snort, and others who could use, start and stop at will with no apparent effects or withdrawal symptoms.
I also have an associate who's son tried a certain drug just once, under the influence of peer pressure at a uni party, and has spent the last two decades dealing with a major psychosis because of it!
A lot of people want to discount the effects of Yarran's drug use, like it has to be that he had problems that existed before Nthmond recruited him, primarily Nthmond people want this to be true so they can blame big bad Carlton.
But reality is we do not know, those critical words again, even something simple like one little toak can destroy someone's life which is the insidious side of social drugs that nobody talks about!
