IMO nothing touches opiates as far as addiction potential goes. That shit becomes as important as food, water, and sex to an opiate hijacked brain.

Still, yes I think they should be completely legal. Legalizing these drugs would completely destroy the black market for these drugs and greatly mitigate deaths from shit like fentanyl and carfentanyl.

    Alcohol. Not only is it addictive on a chemical level, it at first becomes associated with the good times (hanging with friends, going out on a date etc), creating a kind of false causal relationship (booze-->good times). Until you are drinking by yourself and the good times are in the past. In moderation though--an absolute blast.

      I feel called out right now as I'm drinking my beer.

        I've called out myself as well if that makes it better :)

      Huh, I'm the other way around. I drink at parties and celebrations and what, but due to association I don't think I've ever drunk by myself in life.
