ideas!

A long-time religiously-devout alcoholics anonymous member suffers a painful injury and is prescribed some hydrocodone syrup, a drug he has had long-time engagements with in the past. He suffers from internal conflict and drama in weighing out the benefits and negative but is so stern he refuses to budge, refuses to ever dose himself with such a concoction. He only receives minor support at best from his group and his sponsors and one night, he is in so much pain he prays to god but the pain becomes so severe he goes into shock and dies. somehow it must be subtle yet clear that the syrup would have prevented his death. everything can be fine in moderation, yet he deals in absolutes.

The Chive Farmer's son helps his father with the family chive-farming business but he wants "a bigger piece of the pie". His father is conservative and tells him, "son, your grandpa tried to do that once but I steered him back. this is what we've been doing for so long and we do it the best. it is our family's calling and i expect your support."
son goes behind father's back and attempts to grow another cash crop, Opium. He is successful and tells his father they are a type of Afghani Onion and father believes him. However there are kids from town who hear about the poppies and one night, they milk them all, and it is obvious because they are covered in slits. The father sees this the next night, thinks its vandalism and calls the police. Unfortunately, they are on the son's side of the property, and when the cops investigate they send the son to jail for growing opium poppies.
