The real interesting thing is not whether opiod addiction is a disease or not- it clearly is - but why the behavior-controll-fraction trys so violently to clamp down on drug-behaviour with the law. It just doesn't sound rational. And its not. Many oxy-addicts of today, where former - "The police should get them" conservatives. So what compels a human being to want the state to go after his fellow being, which irony- might be his/her future self. My guess, at the motivation is a mixture of envy (on a perceived decadent lifestyle) without hard work, a fear for ones offspring and finally grievances caused by known addicts (small time theft and crockery). As long as these emotions are not respected, taken care off and defused, as long as this is the case, the disease that is drugs can not be handled.
