As a recent transplant from the Midwest to Augusta, Georgia (Smith's hometown)I find it interesting (not) that this information hasn't yet made it into print locally. The sages on the Augusta Chronicle's editorial board (who are wont to quote the Bible as supporting evidence for their learned tripe, er,...opinions) hailed her as a hero. But....DRUGS?? (gasp!) What's a knee-jerk fundamentalist to do?
I can only assume that Ms. Smith has seen the light and has rededicated her life to Christ. Mark my words, that will be the official line and will make damn good copy down here, where every other car is a billboard for Our Heavenly Fathers (one UP THERE, doncha know, and the other in the White House).
