SB-1011 (Senate Bill) is called “The Recognizing Addiction as a Disease Act of 2007″. The purpose of the bill is to change NIDA’s name from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to the National Institute on Diseases of Addiction and NIAAA’s name from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to the National Institute on Alcohol Disorders and Health (NIADH). The measure was approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on June 28 according to JoinTogether and the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA).
That is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard of. Talk about fooling everyone. Just so that nobody will try and think for themselves and doubt the disease theory or question its motives, the “powers that be” are trying to ingrain it into the federal government so that future generations won’t think twice about it. The disease-mongering is absolutely out of control. Drug addiction and alcoholism are no more a chronic brain disease than obsessive nose-picking is – there is no proof of the theory now and there never will be.
