Ole Miss' Robert Nkemdiche is finally having the type of season people expected of a former No. 1 recruit in the country, but he's not chalking it up to weight room exploits or a better understanding of football.
He instead attributes his personal success to Zen, centering himself and music from groups like The Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd.
Ha! Thanks. Right on, Robert, right on.

Is diabetes equal to AIDS. Can you even define disease?

How much clearer can I put it?
The addiction led to a disease. The addiction in of itself is not a disease.

They are both diseases, so in that way, yes.
Do you think my having headaches in the morning from lack of caffeine is a disease, yes or no?

Ok. Well mainstream science and mainstream medicine disagree.
And my point is you said people gave themselves addiction and it was criminal to compare to cancer, so I pointed out that it could be argued and probably proven that many smokers gave themselves cancer. So does that mean it would be criminal to compare these cancer patients to cancer patients who didn't contribute to their cancer?
But please carry on with your anger.

Why do you refuse to answer my question?
I'm angry because I have a different position on addiction than you.
The go to line when one doesn't want to address your points.
(But seriously, I've probably unintentionally hijacked this thread, so will step out. Apologies to the other posters, and no hard feelings.

Then yes.

I lost a brother to synthetic weed... caused some serious seizures and his body was too badly damaged to fight off infections..Was a slow death in a hospital.
Terrifying...and I'm sorry for your loss. How awful.
Honestly I believe the death rate associated with "synthetic weed" is pretty damn high. It may be the highest of all drugs if you consider the death rate vs the number of people that are simply experimenting with it.
Sure we all hear about heroin/meth addicts overdosing but these people have been abusing for long periods of time. Its not like they just fired up once and met their maker.

I've never liked the term disease. I've smoked for most of 17 years, and have dropped it without any problems, except I get to see how bad this Irish temper really becomes.
It's not the same for everybody. I have had no problem dropping bad habits either but there are plenty of people who simply aren't able to do that as easily as I can.

I don't see addiction as a disease. But there is no doubt that certain people's brain chemistry makes chances our drug use and addiction higher. Some can snort a line of coke without a problem, others will go on a multi-day binge.
I think addiction has been called a disease, to help people become more sympathetic to addicts of hard drugs, and to allow it to be medically treated with rehab. If it's not a disease, why would insurance pay for it?
I think anyone with a rational mind can see that treating drugs as a criminal matter, instead of a public health matter, has created a lot of negative consequences in our society. The drug war has done nothing but turn is into there most incarcerated society in human history!
We've created more criminals by locking up people involved with drugs. It's created a more violent society having so many people in prisons. We as a society must rethink our outlook.

And neither LSD nor weed are addictive in anyway.
That's why people wake up and smoke it in the morning, carry around a dugout and take rips like they would a cig, right?
You can be addicted to anything. Just because your body doesn't become physically dependent on it doesn't mean there isn't an addiction.

I couldn't agree more. It's also caused thousands of deaths both here and abroad. Tens of thousands south of the border.

So sorry to hear about that. It's some very dangerous stuff.

We apparently have hundreds of clinical psychologists on this board from varying schools and one ICU housekeeper from State. I think that pretty much sums up this thread...
