Abusing Addiction

The word “addiction” has been weaponized by the war on drugs. Patients and clients become abusers. With the war on drugs, there’s no room for health care. That’s why there’s a fight against such an obvious no-brainer. Our health is not a concern of the prison industrial interest in confining human fodder for profit.

Habit is a better word. It’s unloaded, honest, and harder to prosecute.

Physically addicting substances must be treated medically, unless it’s coffee. A coffee headache can be treated with aspirin, other NSAID, or you can just make yourself another cup.

A lot of psychological addictions are born of insecurity. They have a shadow of shame and are easy to victimize. Prosecution of them helps only the parasite of federal funding that is the prison industry.

We all have habits. We are all addicts in some way, and thank God for that, with the exception of those who can’t solve a problem and are Addicted To Blame. Let’s objectify them by labeling them ATB and threaten them with incarceration.

So, what do you want, health care or a war on drugs?

Thank you for your time.
