I think it has more to do with the fact that nicotine and caffeine are self-imposed addictions. I don't know of anyone that woke up one morning and decided to try Xanax for the first time and became addicted...oh wait...

But seriously, the difference lies in the fact that a doctor saw the necessity to prescribe those drugs for something more than a want. It's a psychological/physical necessity that was inherent in the patient.

So if we choose to do something we are addicts. If someone chooses for us then we are not addicts.

Sounds free to me! LOL

Hi all! Well I figured I'd add my .02 to the hijak train here :D

I have epilepsy... I take 600mg of Lamotrigene and 200mg of Topirimate (Lamictal and Topamax until they fortunately went generic several months ago for those of you searching away right now) every single day.

Without these drugs I have seizures throughout the day, every day, with several gran mals (the kind that make you pass out and lock up for a few min) each day. Taking these drugs however, allows me to lead a normal life, seizure free.

Here is the kicker. I used to be a realatively heavy smoker. Standard 1.5 - 2 packs a day and I could get 3 packs pretty easy on those long days in the field. When I was smoking cigarettes - I still had seizures every so often. Now that I ahve quit regular ciggies and have been vaping the last 2 years - no seizures for the last 1.5 years period.

So my point is you can sling poo from any direction you want and it might stick, but guess what? You still smell like poo cuz you been flingin it too.

There are no labels but what society creates. Your own opinion or decision on the way things are interpreted is one thing, flinging poo at someone who doesn't agree with you just stinks up the place. Diplomacy or no diplomacy it doesn't matter.

In my opinion and interpretation. I am definately a drug addict. If I don't use my drugs... I don't function. Also, if I don't use my nic juices once in a while, I get a little testy and anxious. However none of the drugs I am using are directly harming those around me, and I do not use my PV in front of any children or anyone I don't want to influence with the idea of smoking / vaping that does not already.

If I am not causing harm to others and I am not breaking the law, then don't sling poo in my direction and neither of us will get stinky. If you get your hands dirty, then don't complain about the smell when you get poo all over yourself.

Take care,
- Hap

Now thats what all the women you meet online say, until you meet them at a bar and they weigh 350lbs. Not that thats good or bad just that most misrepresent themselves.

8-o

Heres one of me taken a while ago but I don't age either and pretty much look the same. :D

Not bad for 42.

Heh heh, in that picture and the other ones that I show on myspace, I was actually underweight. 5'6", 105lbs. Now I was the same height and an appropriate weight at 128lbs until I started taking this new medication, which has probably got me down to 120lbs in the month and a half that I have been taking it.

But I hear you though, my mom used to show my sisters picture to people online and say that it was her, it's sad when people have to do that. :(

And you are very handsome, you don't look 42. :) Though since I am 32 now, seems like 42 just isn't as old as it used to be anymore!
