Drugs Don’t Cause Addiction: This Brilliant Short Video Will Change Your View On Drugs Forever

Preface by Christopher Wyatt | TLB staff writer/documentary producer

This video is very powerful because it is the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, and HOW discussion of how people get sucked into dangerous addictions.

Addiction is a similar process whether it be a food addiction, addiction to drugs, or addictions to other things such as sex or the internet. Society has made it very easy to cast each other out and in a sense, we have all become disposable. Material things and the want of things has taken the place of kindness and human decency. Our collective disconnect from each other is a huge factor in not just addiction but in most other social problems. As an activist and a person who has faced some serious life challenges, this disturbs me on a very personal level.

When a person has an addiction they need all the help they can get. This means they need friends and family to support them rather than toss them aside like garbage. I am all for a person helping themselves but when a person is at their lowest I do feel safety nets should be in place to help that person stand back up and be the best that they are capable of being.

As I was watched this video earlier in the evening a friend ask me a simple question as to why MS media and alternative media is not talking about the root cause of addiction. I had no answer for him. 🙁 (CW)
