OK let's see your sources now kid.

Or you just spouting random nonsense too?


Bet you or someone you know is a junky and use addiction as the reason they won't quit. Notice I used won't instead of can't. Junky mentality blame everyone and everything but themselves.

To begin taking drugs in the first place only proves how weak and pathetic they are.

I could find countless articles saying the opposite of that one, so why bother?

It's simple if you didn't want to continue doing drugs you wouldn't. Stop enabling junkies please.

No it isn't. The people who can't give up something are just weak willed people that don't want to give it up so they blame their being pathetic on something else.


Drugs change the chemical balance in the brain (often by manipulating receptors to increase intake). Once the balance has been changed, the brain seeks to keep the new balance (as the new standard). This is part of how tolerance works as well. You have to go even further than the new balance in order to feel the effects as strongly as you once did.
When you stop taking the drugs the balance goes back to how it used to be, but the brain seeks out the drug to correct the balance to what it thinks is right.

You are correct in that the level of a person's will is a factor, but it is a far more powerful pull than just a craving. It's more like starvation.

Any university degree that involves the brain will probably teach you this in your second or third year.

Nobody ever likes her character.


That's the point, she was well written and played by a good actor.

Loved Breaking Bad, pretty rare for me to enjoy a show since I prefer movies. Probably in my Top 3.

Yeah that's basically a tldr of the article I posted.

Saying it should be easy to just stop doing it is so ignorant. I'm not defending drug use but don't be so narrow minded about stuff.
