If you could get an uninterruptible supply of pure, safe heroin (safety is relative to street drugs containing fentanyl) for $5-10/day, it would be possible to be a responsible heroin user — employed taxpayer or however you want to define ‘responsible’.
I used to be a heroin addict, price and availability were the two main obstacles to functioning normally. I’m glad I don’t do heroin any longer (suboxone was a huge help, also stopped that), but if the conditions in the first paragraph were true, it would easily be possible.
