Today, I was talking to my aunt about my brother's recent arrest for drug possession. I proudly told her that I have never done drugs of any kind. Her response: "Well, actually you were born addicted to heroin, so you had a drug problem long before your brother." FML

Wait, so....F your life because you were born addicted to heroin and havent touched any type of drug since that time? Obviously, it didn't affect you all that badly. Two of my cousins were born the same way and have had learning disabilities because of it. What did it do to you??

Uh wait, are you saying it's NOT a good thing to not have done drugs? Loser.

FYL. If you were born with a heroin addiction, that's not YOUR drug problem, that's your MOTHER'S drug problem.

umm, i don't know if ya'll know this, but infants can NOT become addicted to heroin if the mom uses during birth. the molecules are too large to diffuse through the placenta. and this is legitimate info because i learned it during the human reproduction section of my AP Biology class last year. and don't tell me i'm wrong, because i'm 95% sure of this fact, unless you can back it up with a reliable source.

http://www.acde.org/parent/Pregnant.htm The babies of narcotics-dependent mothers are often born dependent themselves and suffer withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability, vomiting and diarrhea, and joint stiffness. http://www.bookrags.com/research/addicted-babies-edaa-01/ The drugs are carriedacross[sic] the placenta from mother to fetus. Those were just the first two results from a quick Google search. I'm sure I could find scientific papers, if you absolutely won't accept those...

Ibuprofen is not addictive and so will not cause problems with people becoming dependent on it, this can occur with other painkillers. It also means that people will not build up a tolerance to the drug: meaning that they will not need larger and larger quantities of the drug to induce the same pain releasing effects. It is not physically addictive but it can be a psychologically dependancy. When something is physically addictive your body goes through withdrawals when you stop taking it. Think cigarettes or cocaine. Psychological dependancy occurs if your unconscious mind starts to believe that you can't sleep unless you take a pill then you will experience insomnia if you stop taking the pill. Psychological dependence is when a person who has taken a medicine for a long time wants to continue taking it because it produces a feeling of well-being. If the patient suddenly stops the medicine it can lead to psychological withdrawal symptoms including anxiety.

u just seem like u were trying to brag

Yes it is entirely possible to be addicted to a drug(s) when born 'cause of your mothers drug problem. I was a drug baby as well.

My mom didn't do drugs while she was pregnant with me, so I wouldn't know how it feels, but she smoked.. Because of that I had ADHD so bad when I was little, I was just out of control, now I still have ADHD, but it's getting better, so FYL
