>>5756841Wrong in various regards. Opioid use can be done effectively in many non-degenerate ways. Weak or unintelligent people should absolutely stay away. Society is shit and many people are shit, it's no wonder opioids are such a problem considering the state of the world and people in general.
Recreational use is most definitely possible without getting physically addicted, however, many people fall into the trap of addiction without even realizing it.
I know a variety of people that use highly potent opioids several times a month and have never been addicted or experienced withdrawals. It is most definitely possible if you know what you're doing and you don't fall into the trap of thinking a few more regular doses won't make a difference hurr durr I'm not getting addicted!
Opioids are performance enhancers both mentally and physically. They are however dangerous for the average person with average IQ and average willpower. A lot of fantastic and accomplished people in history have used opioids. Most people are shit in a shit society and simply can't handle using properly.
It certainly is like playing with fire... if you don't realize what's happening. If you think intelligence and willpower have nothing to do with it you are radically mistaken.
For the note, if you do get addicted like a dumbass, most people aren't even aware that there are non-opioid drugs that can stop withdrawals almost completely (typically everything except the tuns, which can be stopped with loperamide) while your brain is getting over the withdrawals.
