How applicable an argument is the “freedom to choose” to use a substance if the substance is addictive?
Question by .02 REMAINS: How applicable an argument is the “freedom to choose” to use a substance if the substance is addictive?
To expand on my point, an addictive substance removes the user’s freedom to choose not to use it.
Is it more applicable to describe a “freedom to use, not to abuse” policy towards addictive substances?
At what point does use turn into abuse? To ask another way, at what point does the freedom to choose to use (or not use) no longer exist?
Specifically, I am thinking about alcohol and tobacco, but you may use other examples in your response as well.

If it is known the said substance is additive and the person still “choose” to use it once knowing they get addicted then any result is their own fault.

I’m addicted to tobacco. I quit 9 years ago, and haven’t had one since. Why? Because I CHOSE to fight the addiction and not to give in to any cravings I get (and I do still get cravings now and then). It’s a little thing called “will power”.
Addicted to marijuana? HA! It slows reaction time and judgement does it? lolno
I laugh at your ignorance.
Legalize cannabis, support NORML and your local cannabis club, please stop the ignorance and spread? the truth.
Good day
great? video! thanks for sharing
it’s simple… who would you want working for you someone clean and sober or someone? stoned, drunk or hung over. No one wants their back being covered by someone who is not 100% there. Would you let a surgeon operate high? Even if he had just smoked a joint…. Not in a million years.
You’re right !
A I am not BiPolar ( so so manic states )
B I went to great lengths to get educated thus not having the need for shift? work.
You’re kidding, right? I’m guessing that you have never tried to do a work? shift in a manic state.
Yeah I thought that was pretty funny.
That is NOT the job you want to go to work even the slightest bit impaired though. Maybe? they all should take speed just so they are awake and alert, might reduce accidents. LOL
