I mean WHILE someone's on a drug, there's the TINIEST BIT of
truth to, "It's the drug talking, not them", that's ONLY as much
true as someone having loose lips from drinking, or being tired,
or not caring.
I'm hooked on cigarettes. Nothing will stop me.. so it seems.
if I was in a program offering cash? Sure I'd take the cash. I
can fight bad feelings for enough money. I'm not stupid tongue

I grew up in the era of THE WAR ON DRUGS and it drove me nuts
hearing this crap over and over again. I remember when CRACK
BABIES were "the thing"... 'til they discovered the babies got
off their addiction after a few weeks. They retracted the
article only after a year.
But people STILL kept talking about "crack babies" 10-15 years
AFTER they discovered it was ultimately a farce..I bet people
STILL say "crack babies" AS IF it's a real thing.
That doesn't mean that "Reason Wins" but what it *does* mean is
that people aren't as stupid as sociologists, politicians and
statisticians make them out to be.
