(24,819 posts)And it's not about keeping drugs illegal -- you might recall I posted that several times now.
You might also give up the line of argument that you know something from experience, that everyone else is working from "ideas," "stereotypes," and data from "our government," and that you have the platform to educate the rest of us.
I suggest you adjust your perspective.
I know people whose "habit" never got worse than prescription drugs like Oxys, and/or alcohol -- they sustained it for years. But sooner or later, it interferes with every aspect of their lives. And it's hard to quit.
And I know the rest of what I'm talking about -- devastated lives and death -- without going into details.
You still think opiates are great fun, and it's all about free will, and everyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about.
I understand.
(Just curious, no snark intended -- How old are you, and when did you start using opiates?)
