Physical addiction of all narcotics is way overblown. The inability of "dependent" users to stop using drugs, including alcohol, is way less about physiological issues than it is simple habit.
Contrary to what they show in the movies, alcoholics and smack heads do not writhe around and wail when locked up away from their fix.
