i think it's 100 duck-sized horses

otherwise the question is too easy
I had a feeling it was 100, but I felt like it was too many.

i need medication so i can do what

wanting to kill myself for being too weak to avoid medication is a guarantee

that doesn't seem very useful
How would taking, say, a medication that corrects your seratonin levels make you "weak."
because you're admitting that something needs to be "corrected"
So what about cannabis use to help with Parkinson's or Schizophrenia? Or SSRI's for depression?
you answered your own question

anyone who has a disability or mental condition of any kind is weak

that's why they're called disabilities and mental conditions
Well no, my problem is that "weak" carries a negative connotation about the person themselves. You're lumping them in with people who use drugs for recreation. It's different for people with Parkinson's, who use it to function.
people are weak in different ways
For someone who prides himself on being verbose you're really stuck on that word eh?

My point boils down to, those who suffer from physiological ailments are not mentally weak. Using your example, you said earlier neutral life without drugs is 0. Doing drugs is a -1. Returning to a life free of drugs is returning to neutral. However, you're calling people who were never at neutral to begin with, weak. This is hardly the same situation as the person who was once at 0 but chose to drop down a level. What's your definition of weak then and why is it so broad?
weakness = any imperfection, and because it's philosophically useful

strength is the capacity to rise above your weaknesses using sheer willpower, tenacity, etc.

but you're not strong if you use help, i don't think that makes you strong at all

under those definitions, you could say that you don't have any interest in being strong, and that's okay

but i do though, and that's part of why i am the way i am
This is about what I expected. You're just using the term in a way it's not normally considered.
are there any further questions
Why are drugs bad? Are medicinal drugs morally incorrect? and is your response an appeal to nature?

You can jerk it while waiting for the match to load. Super efficient.
it takes me 30-60 minutes to get off which is why i don't do it anymore
You're simply unable to do it quicker?
Yes
That's weird.

Somehow, arguing about this pointless bullshit is more productive than smoking an l and watching cartoons. Apparently.
Watching every single anime too. All of it to prove a point.

well, not only are you,
1. a "Real Nerd",
and 2. a little fucking bitch,
but i will do everything in my power to ensure your "Taking Down".

That is the goal - so when we praise someone who is getting closer to the perfect state, we let them know that "hey man, you're doing good."
So that's exactly it - you are praised for being closer to perfection.
but it's not

you didn't profit from the experience

if you got out of that situation and THEN proceeded to help others get out of that situation, that would be profiting

but most drug addicts instead decide to relapse, because they're pieces of shit
"Decide to relapse"

Also it's incredible how robotic you view people.
there's no such thing as addiction

just weak, weak people
I have no response. This is a break from reality.

You don't do drugs, good for you. Now if you would quit being an asshole maybe people would tell you that without you having to demand it.
except they won't because that's just not what people do

i don't actually care if anyone congratulates me for not doing drugs, i just think it's RETARDED to congratulate drug addicts for solving a problem that they create for themselves out of weakness and stupidity

if anything, they should be mocked and belitted for it for the rest of their lives

Quote
The fact you care so little for others and how willing you are to raise yourself above, calls into question if you have a modicum of empathy.
i have more empathy in my left thumb than this entire forum has combined

i just know what to use it for
Well, they do for me so I dunno what to tell you.

Again, people make stupid decisions and dumb choices, it does not factor into my ability to empathize and attempt to help. Explain to me who would gain from belittling them.

I doubt it.

"Validate me!!!!! Wahhhhhh!!!"
"validate those who deserve to be validated"

haha yeah i'm going to mock that perfectly logical and morally just statement because it was stated in a cynical way that doesn't jive with my narrow view of how people should think and feel and behave

here's the 20 likes you're fishing for
People do pat me on the back though. Not all the time, but when the subject comes up and I say my position generally they take a position of "Wow that's great!"

And yes, your post comes off as crying for attention. Doesn't matter how you slice it, demanding to be congratulated for something that should be expected isn't exactly a great look.
>comes off

no, it IS

and drug addicts are expected to quit, so either congratulate me for being fucking awesome, or never say anything positive to anyone who has ever done drugs

double standard
You don't do drugs, good for you. Now if you would quit being an asshole maybe people would tell you that without you having to demand it.

No, I have sympathy for people who made a choice they regret and it's more beneficial for everyone involved to provide support instead of ridiculing them.
