Some might call it obsession. BTW, I think psychoanalysis is mostly quackery. Psychology likes to think of itself as a science, but I see little there that qualifies. To think that we have any significant grasp of how the human mind works is the height of scientific arrogance. DSM4 is probably the best evidence of how deranged psychoanalysis really is.

Since maybe you didn't understand my question, I will ask again more clearly. In the "yagoohoogle" thread, how was your response of "*Some*... one has too much time on their hands..." anything but simple unnecessary cattiness?

I refuse to discuss this subject in the context of Marta and I think you are way out of line for bringing it up in that context. She is not using the drug for recreation.

Your single-tracked fixation here is annoying and disingenuous.

Do you require regular drugs in order to function in the world like Marta does? Is anyone threatening to take away your access to those drugs? I doubt it or you'd be able to sympathize and would never write heartless responses like this. So it must be health privilege that could make anyone so blind to what it must mean to live on those terms. It reminds me very much of white privilege, where we whites take so much for granted and are simply oblivious to things that people of color face every day of their lives.
