> maybe opiates and cocaine are not really any worse The negative health effects from moderate use of these are really not that bad, but it's very hard to moderately use them, they're a bit moreish. Although alcohol is pretty moreish too, and the withdrawals can be really bad. (Your body develops a chemical dependence to the point that stopping cold turkey can actually kill you)
