Says who? Many "experts" believe that any regular use of drugs or alcohol constitutes addiction. You know a few beers every night or compulsive drinking every Fri/Sat. A joint "just to relax", every night after work. Etc.

Hey these are my honest beliefs... apparently, I come off as an arrogant "perfect" ass and some of you look like addicts making excuses...:idk: To each their own. I like being sober.

Nah, you just come off kinda naive on the subject, no biggie.

Show me the "experts" who believe the majority of drinkers are alcoholics or the majority of marijuana smokers are drug addicts.:skep:

Bullshit. I was making fun of you [it's easy]. You're no different.

Your compulsion, or vice is just not readily apparent here.

You might like the adrenaline of base jumping, or perhaps you're just a chronic masturbater...but I assure you you aren't perfect, and your "bent" is just not readily apparent.

You just think you're better, and you judge others. Wrongly.

Um I did, Kaneman didn't... you quoted my post, didn't you read it?:lol: I said that I understand why you said that and corrected my post accordingly.

this has gotten retarded, who wants to go smoke a bowl?

That's weird considering that I've been surrounded by alcoholism and drug abuse my entire life.:idk: I can honestly say that I have seen every type of drug used personally. Heck, I saw dudes free basing back in the day, I've watched crack be made, seen people shoot up, been in a meth house, etc. One of my brothers is/was a junkie and the other has done time for dealing. I could go on but why bother? You all seem to feel that you need drugs/alcohol and that their use is perfectly okay and even somewhat necessary. Okay. I honestly believe that we all should strive to eliminate them from the world and that we would be so much better off with out them. Small point, some of you are so protective of the environment but you go on polluting your own bodies/minds...:idk:

I don't think I said that. Although, regular use of alcohol is considered alcoholism in some circles. Seriously. My definition is that if you "need" something, then you are addicted. imho.

You association with drug addicts only serves to skew your perspective. Besides, reading your posts pollutes my mind more than any chemical compound.
