People, you are going about this the wrong away. The problem isn't you. The problem is reality. It loving sucks. Using drugs to find comfort and happiness is quite a natural desire. It in fact perfectly comports with the "sanctioned" use of drugs -- i.e to cure and lessen physical pain. When we use drugs for recreation, we are using it to lessen spiritual pain . Liberal and responsible use of drugs is the real philosophical answer to all the mysteries of human existence. The problem is our perception and the demands of capitalism which drives people towards unhappiness and mental illness. To then deny them drugs is the very height of cruelty. That said, I'm only familiar with pot, booze and adderall, and currently have a younger brother who is an alcoholic, so I have an intimate understanding of addiction. But it cannot be the answer that just because some people can't handle drug use responsibly all must then be denied freedom to do drugs. Legalize all drugs. Not because "the drug war has failed" but because recreational drug use should be a HUMAN RIGHT.

I'm an not addict, but I have the potential to be one because I do have an addictive personality and I'm entirely open to using drugs in a recreational fashion to lessen the pain of existence and the endless spiritual suffering. Today after I go home after work I'll find myself agonizingly bored -- so bored that I could just stay in bed. There's always this gnawing sense of dissatisfaction, of something missing, to which alcohol/etc seem like a perfect solution. Maybe there's just too much stimulation going on all the time -- too much porn, gaming, netfix etc such that I need to get comfortable with less stimulation so that mild stimulation can make my day --- a decently cooked meal, an episode of this or that, a job well done at work etc. It seems like there has to be a deeper cause to addiction issues beyond self-control. Maybe it's because life kind of sucks.

listening to this book now -- it challenges the idea that addiction is a "disease." The author says most addicts eventually get over their addiction and simply move on. The author himself used to be an addict. https://www.amazon.com/Biology-Desi...ology+of+desire
