Developing a drug addiction is a personal weakness, not something you had to do because of some external stronger force of will.
Calling it "chemical slavery" just takes more power away from the addicted, and makes them less likely to recover. Getting out of an addiction requires great personal strength, and no one's going to feel strong and independent if they feel like a slave.

I'm not saying I've completely flip flopped, but I can better understand why some people consider addiction a legitimate disease.

| | I fling carrots | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Make a left at the Taco Bell | | | I agree 100 percent that true addiction is a disease. But I also believe if the individual never touched the substance they would NOT become addicted to it.
I know putting a gun to my head and pulling the trigger would end badly, so I don't do it! These people know that the substances they are using could very well ruin their lives (especially those that grew up in addicted families and SAW it), yet they do it anyway!

"It wont happen to me, I dont have an addictice personality"
or
"Its just the government saying that, my dealer knows more about the effects than those science loosers"
or
"I only do it with friends, I wont get addicted"
