>>4400311>caffeine is addictive tooTrue. All addictions are bad by definition though, even if there are good trade offs. You also can't compare the addictiveness and widthrawal symptopms of caffeine too that of opiates, but let's move on. Point taken
>Forbidding people from experiencing something they want to experience is not a reasonable solutionAgreed
>heroin assisted treatment for addicts is one of the benign treatmentsThat's literally the only viable treatment in their case. Going cold turkey will kill you. The US doesn't use substances on their treatments? That's fucking retarded
>better treated with methadoneI advise against all mind altering medication unless there is a SERIOUS need for it, I am not knowledgable enough on methadone too argue but I'd extremely advise against giving addictive sustances too developing teenagers.
>But that doesnt make it poison.Well it IS the dosage that makes the poison ;)
>The reality is that alot of people out there will literally have their lives improved by opioidsImproved as in what? Mental state due too the "runner high" you keep comparing it too? How would that improve their lives exactly? It's not fixing any of their problems, it's more likely too lead to negligence and addiction would most likely ruin them
>doctor supervisionOk so in your perfect world how does that work? Healthy citizens that use opiates and visit their doc once a month too make sure they aren't abusing? That would only lead too noticing the addiction not preventing it. And I'm not going too the dystopic scenario where you have a state funded dope dealer cartel
