What seems callous is disregarding the differences between physical addiction of drugs like caffeine, nicotine and alcohol -- which can kill you if you stop taking it suddenly.
Sure, addicts like drugs and weed is a drug. I'm missing the part where the harm (to self and others) is anywhere near that of some of the others mentioned in this post.
Like you said, you can be addicted to anything but it would be absurd to equate chocolate to heroin.
- dkersten 7y agoAnd yet non-physical addiction also destroys lives sometimes. I’m not equating chocolate to heroin, but all forms of addiction can cause problems and even destroy lives, just because one form is much worse and much more likely to do that, doesn’t mean that we should ignore all the other forms. What you’re saying sounds very much like saying that if someone is worse off than you, that you don’t have the right to complain about your problems, which is complete bullshit.
