I'm not a moron.

Yes.

No because I'm not a pussy.

No because I'm not a pussy.

This is such an asshole post.

There's a surprise.
Anyways, no. Like Verby says, I'm not a moron.

You don't have to be a moron to fall prey to addiction. Thinking that such is simply a matter of stupidity is naive.

It's called not doing drugs, m8.

Was that supposed to convince me that you're right?

Never done them, never will.
I don't want to numb my mind, I need to be aware.

As if aceylpsilocin numbs the mind.

Christo that was probably the most intense perception I've ever experienced.

Well...yeah, having some form of restraint and not doing drugs is generally the smarter path to go. If you want to smoke weed that's great and all, (I feel the same about that as I do alcohol and tobacco) but not doing them at all or in very small amounts usually means you're trying to play it smart.

You really don't need to get so defensive.

Do  you really take me for the type of person to get defensive over something like that? smh

Addiction isn't just a matter of illegal substances. There are countless people these days addicted to pharmaceuticals that their own doctors and psychiatrists have prescribed for them.

It isn't a matter of just 'not doing drugs' and it isn't even just a matter of drugs. Addiction can manifest itself in many areas and anyone with a weak will can fall prey to it. It isn't a matter of intelligence.

Again, looking at it as something so black and white is naive.

Crazy how we let even the smallest things "own us".

I can't say it's been a problem.

I said defensive, not offensive.

That. . . was a typo.

I know you used to smoke weed, and the way you jumped on me when Slash has pretty obviously been playing around with dangerous substances the past few days kind of shows some defensiveness there.

Regardless of what you might perceive. I'm not angry. I've had this discussion many many times before with people simply because It interests me.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you felt like I jumped on you, perhaps I was too offensive in saying that you were acting naive? It's w/e.

Meta's two cents:

Addiction, no matter what anybody says, is a medical issue and not a criminal issue. It's not a case of being idiotic, weak-willed or fundamentally 'problematic' of character. It's just unfortunate that you were probably predisposed to addiction in the first place, in the same way I'm predisposed to things like impulsivity and callousness.

Not abuse, but I know what abstinence problems feel like, to a lesser degree. After the chest surgery more than three years ago I was fed morphine intravenously, and took morphine pills for about two weeks after that.

After I stopped taking them, even though I had a period of slowly decreasing the doses, I became nauseous, dizzy, and sweaty. And if that's what happens with medical-grade morphine that's supposed to be less addicting, then I can understand how breaking a real addiction can be nigh impossible.

Well that's a bit different, I suppose. Something like morphine addiction if you were hospitalized for a while is pretty problematic.

I wasn't really addicted, I took the required doses on time and stopped when I was supposed to. I guess that I was technically addicted, but it didn't control me.

I can see how someone could become addicted in a similar situation, though. If someone has a habit of drinking alcohol or smoking (as many of my classmates had at the time, despite being underage), falling prey to medical grade drugs is probably more likely.

I just felt physically bad, but I just wanted it to go over rather than continuing to take pills.

Again. I only responded to this thread the way I did because I know that Slash has been abusing dangerous substances the past few days.

Even though I fuck around with Camnator, I don't have issues with things like weed, tobacco, and alcohol in reasonable amounts. However I have little to no tolerance for just about everything else. Medical drugs weren't really something I thought about when I posted that, and the only time I'd be sympathetic is if someone ended up dependent after being prescribed by a doctor. Anything else is your own goddamn fault because you were being an idiot.

God, you are such a fucking idiot.

You sound upset.

Le ebin meme bro :^)
