JK> EVERY ADDICT WHO USES ANY DRUG IS DIRECTLY AFFECTING HIS OR HER
JK>BRAIN  CHEMISTRY! 
Of course. But, you are stating that they are trying to "fix" something.
JK> And so is any doctor who prescribes any drug.  The
JK>difference is  that the doctor is supposed to know what the
JK>consequences of that action on  the individual will be in advance. 
Exactly. But that wasn't my point, but since you bring it up...don't you
think that telling people to take any of these AltMed concoctions is 
irresponsible, then?
JK>  A drug addict is merely attempting
JK>to alter the brain chemistry that he or  she was born with.  Period.
JK>Without full understanding of what is involved.
They are attempting to get high.
JK>You know only your own history of use.  Period.
Exactly. So, why do you consistently speak about what _I_ have 
experienced during that history?
JK> One person in a vast
JK>huge  amount of folks with problems.  And you also haven't the
JK>faintest idea of what  I am saying so that you are very much at risk
JK>for using again when you get the  pressures that caused you to use in
JK>the first place. 
You assume I used drugs because of "pressures". You are incorrect.
I DO understand what you are saying, though...that is the point. I 
disagree with many points that you make (when you are actually able to 
convey one, that is).
JK> Or the opportunity to  use if you are presently
JK>incarcerated.
What's this "incarcerated" thing you have going? Oh yeah, Folsom. Well, 
your ignorance about that is quite evident.
