perhaps you have brought your own Biases to the table. "too pat" means its too simple, how does that work out when applying occam's razor? Its easy to say "Junkies will be junkies", you are propagating this mentality and leaning on the crutch of the fallacy of single cause to iterate your own biases. The research is very clear. Mayo Clinic: "Anyone who takes opioids is at risk of developing addiction. Your personal history and the length of time you use opioids play a role, but it's impossible to predict who's vulnerable to eventual dependence on and abuse of these drugs. Legal or illegal, stolen and shared, these drugs are responsible for the majority of overdose deaths in the U.S. today" Us National Library of Medicine: "Opioid addiction is characterized by a powerful, compulsive urge to use opioid drugs, even when they are no longer required medically. Opioids have a high potential for causing addiction in some people, even when the medications are prescribed appropriately and taken as directed." These reputable institutions havent tried to determine "future" addiction because the present data is loud and clear. Opioids are incredible addictive. I wonder why you are completely willing to ignore this data and instead blame the victims and sanctify the distributors. I think it speaks volumes for your position. Perhaps you chose it pre-emptively and dont want to ratify the easily available data. (come on friend. its a simple google away https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3674771/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3674771/) Instead of playing devils advocate, and vocalizing what you "dont buy". Rather analyse the query and ask people in the field. Your biases might give you comfort but it is not the truth and the truth deserves pursuing.
