I talked to a friend of mine today who has a serious opiate addiction. It is heartbreaking. He is on the verge of losing what he has left to lose, but I don't know if there is anything to do. He refuses to seek treatment. I think his options are running out.
I've had my problems in life, specifically with mental illness and benzo addiction, but I'm thankful that I never went the opiate route.
- tigershark 10y agoWhy is he so unhappy? Reading this thread it would seem that opiates are innocuous, a glass of wine is more dangerous apparently. Seriously, I can't understand how people can say such things actively encouraging people to take opioids because they have "less side effects than alcohol".
- aianus 10y agoNobody is telling people to go out and try opiates. We'd just rather people who are already addicted be able to get a cheap, safe fix than /go broke/go to jail/OD on sketchy drugs.
- tigershark 10y agoThere are people in this thread explicitly saying that getting high with heroine once a day is not different than drinking a glass of wine a day. If this is not an opiates eulogy then I don't know what is it. For me should be even illegal to incentivise opiates usage so irresponsibly.
