It's a lie to suggest opiates aren't dangerous and any issue with them should be blamed on anyone else involved. They are incredibly dangerous. It's absurd I have to even say that.
I didn't say that
They are dangerous, but they are also commonly used in medical situations - like pretty much any surgery
Why isn't everyone becoming a junkie?
In my personal experience, everyone having trouble of getting rid of an opiate addiction, tried to mask some other problems with it.
The drug itself can't be really blamed, because it's not jumping into your mouth.
People put it there.
So, why do they do it?
Because firstly, not everyone has access to those drugs, and secondly, anti-drug messaging has been somewhat effective. Ask 50 random people if heroin should be legal, probably 48-49 say no.
This is victim blaming, even worse than before. Fucking yikes.
There definitely are people really susceptible to addiction and decided to try it once and never stopped. Because there are a lot of mixed messages in the world about drugs. Many movies and musical acts romanticize drug abuse. Also, life is hard, people are looking for an escape. The last thing we need is people spreading the message that heroin "isn't that bad". Young kids are sometimes on this platform and are susceptible to a toxic message like that.
You make it seem like I'm a tee-totaller or something and I'm not. I'm just against the message that hard drugs "aren't that bad". It's harmful. Less people should try highly addictive drugs, not more. Just because some people can "handle it" doesn't mean it's a good idea to promote.
By now I'm not sure, if you don't want to understand what I'm trying to say, *or if I hit a nerve - which I didn't intend to do.
~~I'm got education so people can finally be self responsible and I just don't see this as a bad thing. ~~ I have no clue, what the original idea of sentence structure was, but here what I meant: If education would be good, we could give people more self responsibility - and that's what I would really like to see (adding: because then people won't long for a leader) Blaming a drug alone keeps this shit happening, as it's missing my main point, that this is a social problem, not a drug problem.
If you get rid of all opiates, people with problems will drink - and a withdrawal from alcohol can by deadly on its own, while one from opiates isn't.
But this isn't about a competition of drugs, this is about the social problem, where we don't treat people with problems or give them a way to deal with it
We're all just one fuck up away of losing our home.
Of course people turn to drugs, to deal with their shit, as they don't see another way out.
You have to give everyone some fucking perspective and some options, else it's just hopeless.
And of course, this isn't the only problem, where people turn to drugs.
We also use drugs medically, but some people try to self medicate and get into problems.
I just don't see how we can solve this by blaming a drug, when the problem is in a complete different department
Edit: just saw some auto correct mistake
Edit 2: seems I had a stroke
