This web is a privately-produced, privately-funded effort. The owner and author, Cub Lea, has no affiliation with any organization related to addiction or addiction treatment, and no formal or informal allegiance to any non-scientific belief system, religion, philosophy or political perspective. The author has no professional or academic credentials in the field of addiction.

This web is intended to disseminate information relating to a theory of addiction which the author believes to be both factual and accurate. This theory is not scientifically proven, medically accepted, or certified for application in the treatment or diagnosis of addiction. The author accepts no responsibility for any harm, expense or inconvenience which may arise from the use or misuse of this information.

The material presented here is assembled from a wide range of sources, including but not limited to personal experience, interviews with both professional and non-professional investigators inside and outside the field of addiction, various news and media sources, unsubstantiated anecdote, and a broad range of Internet resources.

The author has attempted to make fair and full disclosure of sources for claims and statements made in these pages, but the nature of information and its assessment is such that no guarantee can be given as to the accuracy or value of those sources, nor of their verifiability. All readers are encouraged to perform their own research against the author's claims and statements before making any personal determinations about the truth or value of the subject matter discussed.

Information included on this web is thus evaluated using common-sense criteria which can be summed up as a test of viability consisting of three questions: does it work, does it make sense, and is it credible? It is the author's belief that the ability to verify information, or credit that information to trusted sources, is less important in relation to advances in human understanding than the ability of new knowledge to produce superior practical results to existing knowledge.

While this web currently operates as a not-for-profit, non-commercial venture, the author and owner of this site reserves the right to accept compensation for efforts or activities related to the information on this site.
