Patrick,
If you consider alcohol a med, then you are not being dishonest. People steal from their environment what they need in order to feel alive. It is just tougher now to distinguish what is truly "helpful" given all of the *profit motives* of drug companies AND *individuals*. The trouble is that "HELP IS JUST ANOTHER MARKET"-we just haven't gotten beyond this just yet. We have temporarily lost the connection with the community and help for individuals in it BY the everyday members in it.
