The wiki article states that coca - the coca leaf - has not been shown to be addictive. The first paragraph of the cocaine article says clearly, "cocaine is addictive". So he has a physical disability, not a psychological disability.
Again - no personal experience, but I wouldn't equate the two. |
You missed the key word. People do this all the time. Is it okay to bury a baby? No but it is OK to bury a dead baby. The key word is "dead."
How many ounces are in quart? It is not 32 ounces. Everyone gets this wrong and then they complain that there is something wrong with the right answer. There are 32 ounces in a pound, not a quart. One woman said that everywhere she looked that it said that was correct.
But she could not tell me one place that said that. So what is the answer to this mystery? There are 32 fluid ounces in a quart. The key word is "fluid." So the key word in addictive is "physical." Anorexia nervosa is not a physical disease. It is a psychological disease.
So cocaine may be the most psychological addictive drug that there is! One cocaine addict said that the psychological effects of taking it may be permanent. This cocaine addict was a psychological mess.
Stephen Hawking is a genius but his problems are physical. He is completely paralyzed. He has a physical disability, not a psychological disability. So the original excitement over cocaine was that it was not physically addictive but possibly the most psychological addictive drug ever.
