I feel like I shouldn't have to try heroin to understand this. A solid paper on the topic would suffice.

- reactordev 3y agoA simple Google search returns hundreds if not thousands of results. Here’s one for you https://academic.oup.com/ntr/article/20/9/1038/4096884 https://academic.oup.com/ntr/article/20/9/1038/4096884
- insanitybit 3y agoThat paper does not look like it actually measures addiction, and I don't want to sort through hundreds or thousands of results... But I don't really care. It doesn't sound true but it also doesn't change anything.
- edgyquant 3y agoNo it wouldn’t unless you can consistently reproduce any found results among differing populations and I have serious doubts such a paper, with said follow ups, exists.
- insanitybit 3y agoOK, then I'm going to go with "doesn't sound true"...
- PascLeRasc 3y agoThere needs to be a term for this mindset where people won't entertain a thought or idea unless there's a study proving that thought is correct in all cases. I can guarantee the person you responded to is a weightlifter.
- insanitybit 3y agoThat's not the case here at all. I believe lots of things without studies. Something like "heroin and cigarettes are equally addictive" doesn't sound right to me - that's why I need evidence to the contrary. It's a somewhat extraordinary claim, therefor I require some evidence.
