It's not a disease on all accounts. It's a narrow minded cop out. Different substances effect different people different ways. To consider that and then believe that ALL who have become addicted to a substance, behaviour or what have you, is lazy, dense and disingenuous.HHusky said:

So people have no free will. And yes, being a fucking junkie is a personal failure. No one forced you to start and continue using drugs.HHusky said:

Most people weren’t forced to abuse drugs. But there is a readily identifiable portion of the population who will easily become addicted even if the first use of opiates was legal and prescribed.

Always with the bullshit excuses for a lack of personal responsibility. Weird how I never used any opiates. I could be one of those easily addicted people but I'll never find out because I never used them.HHusky said:

Yes, some people are more susceptible to becoming addicted than others. Who the fuck doesn't know that or have friends or family that bear that out? You think that's some big "medical science" breakthrough?HHusky said:

But your type makes stupid, blanket statements like "Addiction is Genetic" and other bullshit like that. Just because someone is more susceptible to an affliction doesn't mean it's genetic. It can also be social, psychological, drug-induced, escapism, and a host of other causes, factors and reasons. But keep on with your "It's a disease" bullshit, when anyone with half a brain and a little life experience knows that's rarely the diagnosis or case. Fucking mush brain. -
Lucky you. I’ve had surgery. I’ve had opiates. I’m just not afflicted with the predisposition to be addicted to them.SFGbob said:

The opiate addict is identifiable to doctors who treat addiction. While most of us have either no particular reaction to opiates or are even sickened by them, the addict remembers his first, intensely pleasurable use and chases that high. The fact they are energized by opiates already makes them unusual. I really don’t care if it’s genetic or not, although the evidence points to that.TurdBomber said:

Do you recognize the circularity of your argument where the exception becomes the rule? Some evidence points to that for some people. Your proverbial “one-hit, that’s it” physically addicted addict is extremely rare.HHusky said:
