Addiction is a
Choice,
The blame game, the Drug War, & other horrors. Conventional wisdom says "Illegal drugs like marijuana and heroin are devils. They're bad, dangerous and addictive." That is a fallacy spread, in part, by people who benefit by scapegoating drugs and drug users — because of existential problems in their own lives. Drugs are neither good nor bad, neither safe nor dangerous. Drugs don't cause addiction. Addiction is a choice, not a treatable disease. Treatment for addiction is more about social control and religion than about science and medicine. People use legal and illegal mood-altering drugs for the same reasons people believe in God. Why? Professor Jeffrey A. Schaler of American University in Washington, D.C., will explain. |
