Drug Addiction: Drug Addiction Facts

Question: Is drug addiction the biggest enemy of humanity? how many agree or disagree?

(Posted by: The F word on 2009-08-21 05:53:21)

A person loses purity, identity and becomes a person which he is not. Controlled drug intake? it doesnt matter. Even a Micro gram of these drugs like cocaine disables a person's ability to do even the basic of things. That includes personal hygiene too! Religion is the biggest enemy? Yes there are cults, so what the heck? The fact that people make religion a source of enemy is a sign that evil is taking over the world. I might have to agree with hard headed religious people on this one.

No, greed is the biggest enemy of humanity. Greed is the prioritisation of material wealth over the well-being of others, and is what has lead to the huge rich-poor divide in our world. A drug addiction is just as much a mental illness as depression, ADD or schizophrenia. It requires treatment. You cannot blame people for being unwell.

I think the labour government is the biggest enemy of humanity.

I believe the biggest enemies to humanity are; 1)Religion, and all that is done in its name. 2) Destruction of the planet. Disregard for ecology despite what we know. 3 )Drug addiction and at least 1 lost generation. 4) Big Brother

No it is not the biggest enemy to humanity , satan is, but as we are talking about man made things i would say alcohol is a much greater threat and has cause more damage than drugs ever will. Why ? Because drugs are illegal and alcohol is not. Alcohol should be illegalized!

No. Drug addiction is a problem, yes, but I think things like oppressive dictatorships and world starvation matter more. And by the way, a microgram of cocaine does no such thing. A microgram is a millionth of a gram; that wouldn't even make a baby blink.

The desire for power, the feeling that you are superior, that you dominate, is by far and away the most destructive drug of all. Look here, in R &S, and see those people who Have to be right, whose responses are not answers, but are insults. They are the helpless addicts of of their desire to feel powerful.

Humans are the biggest enemy of humanity. A micro gram of cocaine does not disable a person's ability to do even the basic of things. If you had any actual experience with cocaine you'd know that. Addiction to ANYTHING (even legal non-drug things) is dangerous. However, addiction does not hinder our humanity. 99 out of 100 people on this planet are addicted to sugar. That addiction does not disable a person. I'm sure you'll laugh and say "sugar isn't dangerous or illegal " but actually it is more dangerous than a lot of things you think are dangerous.

Not by a long shot. There are numerous great contributors to knowledge, literature, and many other fields who were drug addicts. Addiction is simply a habituation of the body to a substance, and a reliance on it. It does not necessarily disable hygiene, abilities, "purity ", or identity. Those things are lost as a result of doing things to excess, regardless of whether their choice is a particular drug or some other outlet.

A drug problem is one of the biggest things to overcome. remember the devil goes about like a roaring lion to take advantage of who he can. drugs open the gate for satan to do that. and drugs are also a form of witchcraft.

No. Not unless it's fed to children before they know any better. After that there is choice Religion is fed to children before they know any better, so, that enemy is far greater.

While a mg of cocaine won't inhibit, obstruct, disable or otherwise disrupt an individual's daily routine (including hygiene), unless the individual is an infant, your point is well taken. However I feel that I agree, in part. It's ADDICTION that is the problem and not necessarily DRUG addiction as it (the disease of addiction) manifests itself in many ways, from sex, gambling, spending, etc. The biggest addiction humanity faces, as I see it, is laziness. And not only physical laziness, but spiritual laziness and intellectual laziness as well. The two less common versions of laziness give rise to ignorance and lack of understanding as well as diminished creativity and imagination.

And, exactly, how does that make drug addiction any different from religion? As I always say, "Better Life through Chemistry " (I more ot less stole this little motto from DuPont's marketing department)

You appear to have fallen for the puritan prohibitionist propaganda hook, line and sinker. FACT: It is entirely possible to be addicted to a substance without any apparent deleterious effects. There are heroin and cocaine addicts holding down nine-to-five jobs. They pay for their stashes with money that they earned from honest hard work. They get high, drift back to reality and go back to work. You've probably met hundreds of them and not so much as suspected it. Addiction is not harmful in and of itself. A habit *only* becomes a problem when it is rendered unsustainable by external factors.
