Some bitch named Laura Volkoff, Director if the National Institute on Drug Abuse and granddaughter of Leo Trotsky, says her research proves that drug addiction is a disease. I wonder if it proves that the withdrawal from alcohol, heroin, cocaine, and THC is exactly the same, because the case that they are all the same is the only one which would allow pronouncing all of them symptoms of the same disease.
Only a simple minded person would think of a person who does heroin to prevent him/herself from being sick as having the same disease as the person who really is craving a joint. The human drives, motivation, and personality have been studied extremely extensively. It is well known that circumstances almost completely dictate deviations from normal human motivation. Maslow in his 1970 revision of Motivation and Personality said that it is a mistake to judge the actions of someone whose basic needs are not being met as if that person’s needs are being met since the actions of people who are deprived of even one basic need, like sex, will do just about anything to placate that frustration if a mode of placation is available. Studies on Sensory Deprivation at McGill University demonstrated this over and over. (For insight into sensory deprivation read Inside the Black Room and The Brain Benders.)
Basically, truthfully, the Megalomania Gang who runs things has this overpopulation problem. Many people’s needs are not being met: social, sexual, psychological, etc. In the place of these needs, the social engineers give those people drugs, alcohol, and TV. The TV ensures their attention spans and abilities to rid themselves of boredom are truncated and then stunted permanently from a very young age (Jane Healy, Endangered Minds). Then they blame their victims and stigmatize them with a label of DISEASED when they do drugs because of many, many factor and convergent circumstances.
It is true that the original connotation of the word disease is just what the conjunction of the two Latin diphthongs implies: a lack of ease in a subject. I am not “easy” indeed with the feeling of never having sex again. Drives regulated in the hypothalamus are extremely powerful, so much so that people will suicide if they are not fulfilled.
Now this jackass bitch Laura Volkoff (sp?) is trying to say that she just discovered that addictions to all sorts of things are much the same. This might be correct on a physical level, i.e. the limbic system and, even lower in the hierarchy, the R-complex are very sensitive to remembered pleasures, especially in the conspicuous absence of other salient experiences. On a social, spiritual, and psychological level, there are extremely complicated qualifications and intricately intertwined factors such that one neurobiologist’s circular, water-is-wet logic should not discount the extreme and deliberate deprivation by the Megalomaniac Gang of a large number of people of a reasonably quality life and the effect that deprivation has. Of course, the NIDA stresses vehemently and repeatedly that genetic factors affect one’s propensity to develop an addiction after trying a drug. This might be somewhat true, but social circumstances such as sexual deprivation or ostracism probably have a lot more to do with whether or not the first time a drug is used—and it happens to cure your frustrated libido, thus becomes associated in your brain with a very powerful drive, and therefore triggers your very powerful hypothalamus to tell you to do it again—total dependence and obsession ensues.
