You're right, that does sound cruel.
Moreover, the effects of addiction, the way choices made in childhood or under duress can affect the brain well into adulthood, and the fact that unregulated drugs sold can be far more dangerous than believed (you know, what the article was about) make this a hardly tenable position. "The dangers are generally known" is only said about opiate addiction by someone who doesn't know much.
- imaginenore 10y agoAre you saying opiate addiction dangers are not known? Sounds like you're the one who doesn't know much. Even kids know drugs are bad for you. And the article is about the adults.
- MichaelGG 10y agoThis is not a danger of opiate addiction. It is a danger of an unregulated black market selling improperly marked medicine. Hint: If you accidentally take 50x the amount of Tylenol you intended to take, you're probably going to die.
