<drug> consumers every time: it's actually not bad in moderate consumption/I can quit any time/medication is always a question of dosage

Looks to me like even taking meds for a prolonged amount of time shows you that to any problem you try to fix with externally administered chemistry always has a downside to deal with, too.

Please stop trying to frame your drug habit as a good thing, be it caffeine, weed or worse things like alcohol and beyond. Another one of those things where your mental health depends on you not understanding the problems you cause yourself.

It's not bad in moderation. Sugar is much more addictive and harmful than alcohol, and it's also fine in moderation.

Heroin is fine in moderation! /s

The thing is that it's impossible to moderate one's intake as, as you said, it's addictive.

Vast majority of adults consume alcohol in moderation, so clearly it is possible. It's really not that addictive if you don't have some physical or psychological predisposition to alcoholism.

I mean, it is. We give it a different name and highly control it, but if you're getting end of life treatment for cancer or whatever, they give you powerful pain relievers in the hospital, under tight control.
