Question by Captain Flatulence: Why is dependence on some drugs okay but not others?
Do not confuse “abuse” with “dependence.” Most folks think it’s no big deal if they take anti-depressants, cholesterol lowering drugs or high-blood pressure medications every day (dependence). But as soon as someone says they take Xanax or Valium or Vicodin everyday, there’s a whole different attitude about it.

All drugs are not alike. Some drugs, such as aspirin, are milder than others. Many drugs are mind-altering, and therefore more dangerous. It is always best to have a doctor monitoring your useage, including over-the-counter drugs.
