   Poker chips are basically monopoly money.
   
   We should start a monopoly money casino, where we sell you monopoly money for real money that you in turn spend at our casino anyway.
   
   Hey I just pitched you a casino with shitty chips.

   Was I a junkie back then, roshambo?

   If you can't stop any time you want, you are a junkie.
   
   If you have a dependency upon a drug, you are a junkie.

    I'm too lazy and socially anxious to be a dope head
    
    I tried it for a while, I would hang out around 19th Ave SE and 48 Street and walk around with the hookers, score dope, get high in trap houses.
    
    So much social interaction. I can never do that when i'm sober I get anxiety when people facebook message me lol

    For some reason it feels weird agreeing so strongly with SpectraL on something.
    
    But yeah, the whole "any and all instances of X use constitute addiction" claim is pretty flawed.
    
    First off, what is a drug? Is caffeine? Chocolate? Sugar? Alcohol? Tobacco? Prescribed medications?
    
    Secondly, at what precise point in the overall timeline does the addiction become a thing of the past? Or does it even?
    
    If one is clean (of everything, including caffeine, sugar, etc) for 60 years, are they still an addict?

    Pretty much when something has you by the balls and you are compromised. Stopping off at a gas station to buy a coffee daily isn't the same as struggling to hold a job or function because you need to get high.

    What if you get withdrawls from not having the coffee and are willing to come into work late to get that fix because fuck not working without coffee i'd rather die.

    Coffee doesn't carry the social stigma of being illegal.
    
    Coffee doesn't cost an absolute fortune because of black market economics and criminal enterprise incentivization.
    
    Coffee's product quality is monitored and regulated by government standards organizations.
    
    If coffee carried all of those burdens, then employees would be sneaking their coffees into work like alcoholics hide bottles, asking their coworkers for change to help them afford their next fix, and potentially overdosing in the break room from fentanyl-laced coffee.

    You can even be addicted to not being an addict.
