  • In America, crisp is used to describe natural food that is very fresh or a nice, cold morning. But crispy is used to describe food that is cooked so long it's become crunchy.

  • if you cook something long enough for it to get crispy, that's still used as a favourable descriptor

  • I'm sorry, hold up, what do you think I'm doing here? When someone comes to me for a drug and alcohol eval, I dont tell them what to do. I ask what they want, if they think their use is a problem, if they want treatment, etc. All I do is provide options. That's what individualized person-centered care is.

    What makes you think i do anything different?

    I can provide you resources on substance use disorders if you really want but I do this for a living so I'm not eager to. I would say look into ASAM. Addiction Medicine is a developing field but we're finding more empowering ways to help people through validation and support.

    the problem in the language here is really what does mental disorder really mean? it isn't about genetics. a disorder just means life is out of order. etiology is irrelevant. is the framing of it as a mental disorder somehow uncomfortable to you? it might seem critical if you still think of MH issues as "mental illnesses", but that's not what's going on. identifying problematic behavioral patterns as a psychological problem enables us to treat it appropriately instead of with stigma.

    and to be clear, no one is expected to do what they don't want to do.

  • substance use disorders are absolutely a mental disorder and it's damaging to treat them as anything else. too long they've been considered moral failings and people are fucking dying because of it. when a substance gets in the way of life, that's a disorder.

    as for doing what you want... im not arguing for sobriety or abstinence, that's another approach to addiction that KILLS PEOPLE. you can still do what you want.

  • Heya, I'd love to follow up with you on some of this stuff. This actually isn't accurate for the current understanding of addiction. Substance use disorders are more than just dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal. There are a number of other factors that constitute "addiction" (aka, SUDs). Check out the DSM criteria for cannabis use disorder for starters.

    It turns out that, while not medical emergency level akin to ethanol or benzo w/d, cannabis does have some seriously addictive properties.

    Really the trouble is that we misunderstand addiction itself. It's not about chemicals. It's about context, and overall life functioning.

  • Legalize all drugs. Addiction is a severe mental health disorder, not a crime. Literally end of discussion.

  • Cannabis study finds legalization reduces problematic consumption, especially among those using other drugs

    Jump

  • I do believe alcohol should be regulated much more than it is. That's irrelevant.

    You don't have to deal with the shit i do. cannabis use disorder is a real thing, and it does fuck up people's lives. and i say this as a light user of both alcohol and cannabis.

    we are currently going through a severe rubber band effect on cannabis. after decades of reefer madness, people are going the other direction and saying it's a miracle drug that cures everything and makes life better in every way. that's just not the case. the evidence behind marijuanas medicinal benefit is shaky at best, and we have demonstrable proof of harms that it causes.

    and if you read any of this and and think I'm advocating against legalization, you're completely missing the point. we should be legalizing all drugs because penalizing people for having a medical condition is fucking insane. but that doesn't mean we need to pretend that it's not a problematic substance.

  • very cool they have some data on this, but we should acknowledge that they did not have a control group of abstaining participants. so they demonstrated that psychologically not breaking the law has fewer deleterious effects than breaking the law, that's very cool. criminalizing substance use is a fucking disaster. but we still need to examine whether cannabis use does harm

  • it's okay to hate bodies that dont conform to the fantasy standard, didn't you get that memo?

    it's also fine to hate addicts and neurodivergents and anyone that suffers consequences from behavioral patterns, because anything short of perfection is shit, dontchaknow. god i hate myself

  • You can credit whatever you want in your head, but learning to hate our bodies is more of a recipe for eating disorders than it is for self-care of exercising and eating right
