Calling all levels of consumption "self-medication" is unwarranted. If you reach a point at which you are stable and if the quantities you consume are reasonable, then you have pretty much arrived. If the government healthcare mandates abstinence and withholds treatment from you unless you comply that is another issue. But theoretically, not all consumption is self-medication. If you are stable and suffer no ill effects and whatever you do is reasonable overall, then pretty much things are OK for you.
