The brain disorder (disease if you prefer, not incurable) that is widely taken to be addiction which is technically chemical dependency caused by molecular compounds altering the functions of the brain to create what truly is a form of brain disease is not truly addiction in the psychological sense by itself. The psychological disorder that is addiction is not at all a disease. And yet it is dis-ease. Where does it originate from? Not genetics as science shows us. There is no addiction gene. However one's chromosomes can be ordered in a karmic manner that leaves one at a higher predisposition for it or so certain science tells us. Biased most likely.
I am not interested in getting into brain science. I am a man of the mind quite frankly. The mind is NOT the brain and the brain is merely a receiver if you will of consciousness. More on consciousness later perhaps. Definitely actually.
If humans could not make their own choices perhaps we could logically argue that addiction is a true disease of the mind. But humans can make their own choices. Very much so. Something as severe as schizophrenia (axonal mayhem)
[sorry getting excited and playful here] can be seen as a true disease of the mind perhaps where one's ability to make choices is hampered by a force more powerful than their human ability...ok we are getting carried away here. One more song for play then I will simply reference some things here and in the comments and say I do not buy the disease model of addiction.

I've had the bug for tripping, yes. The funny thing is some drugs seem to be anti-addictive by their very molecular nature (I digress severely).
Ok so these things will shatter the misconception of addiction:

I suppose there are two sides to every coin and this man has something to say about genetics (I believe in mind over matter and karma):

I suppose if one quits the negative addictive behavior why debunk anything for that matter?
