Are You an Anti-Drug Czar?
Question by It’s Kippah, Kippah the dawg: Are you an anti-drug czar?
From a Yahoo article…
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Adminstration, marijuana was involved in 242,200 visits to hospital emergency rooms in 2005. This means that the patient mentioned using marijuana and does not mean the drug directly caused the accident or condition being treated, SAMHSA says.
If the patient only MENTIONED that he or she had smoked weed, which could of been up to 30 days prior with today’s drug testing, how does that make a hospital visit pot related? See how you czars twist words and facts to fit your agenda?
Give it a rest already. Alcohol and tobacco cause far more deaths than weed, yet they remain legal. Why? Guess the gov’t got addicted to the tax revenue eh?

What Is the Current Medical Definition of “addiction?” (More)?
Question by DLM: What is the current medical definition of “addiction?” (more)?
Also, does the definition differ from one substance to another, or in the case of gambling or other behaviors, where there is no chemical dependency, is there a separate definition for those as well?
I am just curious about the “umbrella” that the word addiction covers in the medical world, versus common everyday ‘people-talk’ use of the word. The more specifics you can provide, the better.

You’ll want a DSM-IV for all the definitions you’d ever care to look at.

The link I included below will take you to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) treatment center locator. SAMHSA is a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services
Enter a city and state, then select “Continue”. You will then be offered options to target your search. In your case, under “Services Provided” you would select “Substance Abuse” and under “Type of Care” you would select “Residential Long-Term Treatment” and/or “Hospital Inpatient”. Again, select “Continue”. You will then see a list of centers with their contact information, as well as a summary of the services they offer and forms of payment accepted.
How Applicable an Argument Is the “Freedom to Choose” to Use a Substance if the Substance Is Addictive?
Question by .02 REMAINS: How applicable an argument is the “freedom to choose” to use a substance if the substance is addictive?
To expand on my point, an addictive substance removes the user’s freedom to choose not to use it.
Is it more applicable to describe a “freedom to use, not to abuse” policy towards addictive substances?
At what point does use turn into abuse? To ask another way, at what point does the freedom to choose to use (or not use) no longer exist?
Specifically, I am thinking about alcohol and tobacco, but you may use other examples in your response as well.

If it is known the said substance is additive and the person still “choose” to use it once knowing they get addicted then any result is their own fault.
