[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 688001, member: 20267"] Taking substances to improve function is perfectly acceptable. And studies show that pot can, indeed, be of benefit for some. Not denying that. That isn't the same thing as addiction, though. Sure, once we are addicted, we cannot function without our substance. That is not the same thing as taking something for depression. Depression is a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. You do not take SSRI's recreationally. You take them to improve quality of life. Drug addicts take drugs because they don't know how to cope in their right mind. You had depression issues before you started taking your medication. It is NOT a result of rampant drug use, which itself results in the perceived need of a mind altering substance. If you stop taking your medications, you will still have the depression problem. Since an addict's problem are a result of drug use, stopping actually improves our situation. While stopping for you would be detrimental. [/QUOTE]
