So only when a habit is bad is it an addiction? And you're one to talk about double standards.
If you'd cast stereotypes aside, you'll see the point I'm trying to make:
- Habit: frequent activities. Period. Anything you do on a regular basis is a habit. From Biting your nails to masturbating, from playing guitar back to I WHIP MAH HAIR BACK AND FORTH, those are habits.
- Addiction: Addiction is a habit plus the physical and/or psychological dependence on said habit. In a very loose sense, you could say everything you enjoy regularly, from ice cream to music, is your addiction. In tighter terms, only when you make conscious efforts to continue such habits when situations suggest that it be temporarily and/or insignificantly discontinued, I smell an addiction coming.
Yet, again, I try to highlight my point, no smoker ever admits to anyone, even themselves, that they are addicted yet go on and on and on to make themselves look "clean"; and that is what makes weed look bad in the view of the outside world, or at least mine. If weed-addicts are so delusional not to even admit that they like smoking so much that they are slightly/acceptably addicted to it (this is where I differ from you, addiction doesn't have to be negative, there is negative addiction, and allowable addiction), I'm sure it's not going to look safe.
I mean, f'uck, how many examples of addictions have I given already? And smoking is still so high and almighty? If you care about stereotypes so much that you have to keep defending yourselves, well, good for you. I'm a basement dweller who's somewhat dangerously addicted to the computer and I'm proud of it. At least, when acknowledging it, I can see the looming danger to be in better control.
Look at Rob, he does his sh'it but he also knows his sh'it. Has anyone seen him defending himself? Yeah he's just that boss. And the one in control steers safe from the addiction, the "real" addiction if you will, zone, that's what I believe.
