Antigen:
What's the difference between a druggie and an addict?
"When I was a druggie" was, in most cases in the Seed, a lie.
Now, here's a challenging question. If not coercion or undue influence (legal def, i.e. brainwashing) why did all those thousands of kids call themselves druggies when they were not?
It continues to amaze me to talk to law students -- college
graduates all and smarter than the average bear -- who will
seriously tell me about how dangerous mj is and how it
destroys the lives of those who use it and who, in the
very next sentence, will tell me how they and their
friends -- now CPAs, engineers, med students -- used
pot regularly through high school and college. And
they don't see the contradiction between these statements.
We're not just talking ignorance here -- we are talking
deep down, serious, religious indoctrination.

All those thousands that weren't druggies?

Well, I can name 4, Mcnultys all. Then there was our neighbor, Mike and our other neighbor, Pam. Just read around these forums awhile. You'll find many instances of people talking about how they were pressured into confessing drug problems they never had.
Now, add to that that the actual rate of addiction in any population has remained around 1% - 3% since we've been keeping track and that most of those people don't become addicted till adulthood. It just doesn't pass the giggle test that thousands of kids who all happen to be tied by way of their parents just happened to all be addicts.
It's just astounding to me that, all these years later, you still think there were that many addicted teenagers in one highschool or another. What are you smoking, anyway?
All I ask is equal freedom. When it is denied, as it always is, I take it anyhow.

Totally false, Ginger.
A druggie is a person who uses (illicit) drugs.
I know all the people you are refering to, and have used drugs with all of them (but not in a while:). If my math is right, I'm even one of them. I was never coerced into admitting I was a druggie by anyone. I admitted it of my own free will.
An addict is a person who can no longer claim to be a recreational drug user because they can't stop, or could not stop without help.
I, Thom McNulty (on behalf of myself), who used to be a druggie (used illicit drugs) a long time ago, and freely admitted it while at The Seed, do hereby revoke my (his/her) status as a member of the Fornits Cult. Further, I demand that any and all persons who publicly proclaim a given number of 'Fornits Cult Members', henceforth reduce said number by one.
I do this of my own free will for the following reason(s): I/he/she don't wish to submit myself to the false teachings and abusive behavior of the Fornits Cult any longer.
Although I've enjoyed catching up on fond memories of my time at The Seed with a few posters here, I feel I have contributed all my experiences from The Seed.
(This stuff happened 30 years ago, for crying out loud! GET A LIFE!)
I am a truthful person, and have had enough of being accused of lying by Ginger, Greg and Anon. I have nothing I need to prove to anyone, and reading some of this crap is an annoying waste my valuable time. See ya!
