[QUOTE="Steely, post: 124011, member: 3301"] Well.........I guess it could be both KLMNO. I was married to a guy who was self medicating out the wazoo.....and bi-polar.........who knows which came first, however. I know that many people self medicate, "to stay sane". But I also know a lot of drug addicts become "insane" once they start using. I guess it could go both ways. I guess the decisive factor is - what is the motivator for starting to use - and almost always it is to alter the mood of the person. Janet, I know people who are addicted to pot as well, although the medical community denies it can be addictive - I disagree. I think it is psychologically addictive. It makes someone feel better, and they become addicted to that "feeling" - just like any other drug. It is just that some drugs also become physically addicting. KLMNO I hope this thread was not started because difficult child started using? [/QUOTE]
