> They only "cause" drug-seeking behavior because they actually make you feel good as opposed to Effexor, which simply helps you feel "not as bad". Drug addiction is now a disease, much as masturbation and homosexuality were once diseases; it's the pathologizing of a subgroup of the population so that a majority of the population can distract itself from its own psychic ills. Moreover, to think that drugs CAUSE drug-seeking behavior is ludicrous, and saying so is tantamount to self-deception. Do people that engage in promiscuous sex claim that sex induces their sex-seeking behavior? Do people that overeat claim that food causes it? A massive psychosocial fraud has been perpetrated on the public of most western nations, most notably America, concerning the ethos of drug use.

Because southern white bigoted elitests claimed, at the time of the Harrison Act in 1914, that "crazed negroes" under the influence of cocaine would require a higher-caliber bullet to be subdued by the police, and that they'd take advantage of innocent white women whilst in a wanton sexual rage.

i agree, and on some level always have. but it took being treated like i'm less worthy of medical attention because i am seeking relief from drug withdrawals to bring it home and heighten my awareness of the problem.
i'm not doing anything wrong! i'm just trying not to be sick - heck i haven't even gotten to the pursuit of happiness part of it yet! gimme a break ;-)
