>Yeah, I think I’d rather handle any addiction myself than go through that Then you probably don't really know addiction. Recovered hard drug addicts can get cravings for substances for the rest of their lives. The brain doesn't let go because it knows it can get that feeling again at any time. Not relapsing is a continuous battle, although it gets easier with time. I get that the research sounds a bit disturbing, but if it works, it would be a groundbreaking therapy for addiction and a lot of people would be able to live their lives again.

I can accept that. But life is short. Such a horrific experience had better have provably positive outcomes before I’d sign up. Or sign up someone I love. Currently know some friends’ families with kids suffering harder addictions. I still wouldn’t destroy their sense of individuality by taping their eyelids open. I see it as, holy crap why are kids doing fentanyl? But I was a kid once, and hope they grow up with some sense of self-respect and responsibility. I have a bias, in that it seems when amortized, humans keep staying alive despite the newest drug.
