One more thing. I think rehab causes people to die, because a heroin user is made to stop, then they are in rehab for a while, and then they get out and accidentally inject too much and overdose. When you are denied something you want for a period of time, the tendency is to make you want it more. It makes the drug into an obsession and the whole thing just reinforces the importance and perceived desirability of the drug.
I think that even users of a drug have beliefs about the drug and its effects that are myths promoted by the anti-drug side. Drugs are supposed to feel like more pleasure than 100 orgasms, right? I actually think that no drug directly causes pleasure. It's like alcohol. Alcohol by itself does not plaster a smile on your face. The enjoyment of drinking comes from combining it with an enjoyable activity. Likewise for drugs. Their effect on mood is neutral and the enjoyment comes from combining it with an enjoyable activity.
