You've failed to present this. That opiates are bad is just dogma left around from the first religious-linked anti-drug pushes. I think they are inappropriate, but in the same way SSRIs are inappropriate, and have explained my position.
E.g. a UK study found that if you just give people all the heroin they want they quit after 2 years. There are no other complications than constipation.
- ironmagma 5y ago> There are no other complications than constipation. You keep saying this, ignoring the fact that I showed (with a citation) that it is addictive, which is a complication. This is a pointless discussion, since the dogma is that you are pro-opiate past the point of reason. I seriously doubt you’ve even tried this drug.
