quoted by manson in the book
DRUGS
"There is a sterotype among people who have never gotten high that anyone who has ever done drugs, no matter what that drug is, is an addict. The truth is that addiction has little to do with what drugs you use or how how often you use them. I make no secret of my drug use. But at the same time I have nothing but utter contempt for anyone who is addicted to drugs. It is the people who abuse drugs that make the people that use them look bad. Here are a few simple rules to help you determine whether you are a user or anabuser of cocaine, pot, and other substances.Consider yourself and addict if..............."
