An agree fest ensues

I am not advocating pure herion (ironically quite a safe drug aside from addiction) or cocaine powder as modern consumer products.

Opium caused upheavals when used as a wedge by Westerners in China, but remember it had been present, and used for millenia in Arabia.

The same, roughly, with cocaine and coca

It is not a choice between continued sadism or free reign herion and cocaine dealing.

We can do better

And I think the "psychological elements that come with long term use" is largely confusing cause and effect.

From my experience people having drug problems recover when the problems recede. Hence advocating treating drug addiction with drugs

One size does not fit all, and some halt and are abstinent. Good on them, I know no-one like that
