I have never met anyone who has become an opioid addict because they thought it was a cool and fun thing to do. Every single one of them has been because they had gotten addicted when on prescribed medication or because their lot in life had gotten so terrible that they needed an escape far greater than alcohol to cope with it. My understanding is that the science aligns with my anecdotal experience, e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5846593/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5846593/ It's not like pot or shrooms or similar. People aren't doing it for fun or to broaden their mind.
