Hello Antique,

You are so right - society loves to label and stereotype. And I agree with your feedback for the most part, but the definitions, terms, and criteria have been made (reference the DSM and Nida publications for example), it is clear and understandable. However it never ceases to amaze me how far behind the legislators and the medical community seem to be (i.e., my last encounter with psychiatrists/physicians/counsellors) - it is infuriating, it's tragic, and it's unacceptable. I was labelled an addict from the very beginning, and there was nothing I could do from that point on. It will undoubtedly stick to me for years to come.

Many folks here made some important points. Regardless of the anger and emotion that was predictably incited, it is important we all keep talking, debating, communicating, and educating each other. Thanks to Maria for speaking out.
