Thank you, a wonderful day to you too! I think it's completely okay to talk about drugs, creating taboos around dangerous things has rarely been helpful in the past. However, I think people's reaction to this piece shows what's missing: more warnings around it than seem entirely necessary to the average person. You just don't want today's lucky 10,000 [0] to come away with the impression that heroin is a pretty casual thing, and while the fact of talking about it is great, the words themselves can be dangerous if they promote unsafe behavior without adequate warnings. All that being said, I have to admit that people might be over-reacting a smidge to the interview, but I can't really fault them. I haven't personally lost anyone to heroin addiction, but I imagine I might read the article less generously if I had. Cheers! [0]: https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/
