have you ever done heroin or are you LARPing its pretty addictive man. if you don't think a chemical can be addictive go snort some MXE and get back to me lol. habitual and chemical addictions are not the same, though both can simultaneously exist. idk wake me up when people start getting pot dependency withdrawls.

IDK if its "just as bad" on a chemical level. But all this stuff is similar to pot addiction. Yes, if you smoke everyday for a long time and stop -- you not sleep, you will not be hungry, you might even be sick, you will irritable, shaky and sweaty.
Heroin withdraw is worse. It lasts longer and its more intense. When your on heroin, you are useless. Being useless for long periods of time followed by intense withdraw is likely to cause what exactly? Very desperate behavior. There obviously going to be out of money and their whole body is screaming for heroin.
I'm not saying heroin addiction isn't worse. It's more that I'm saying the mechanisms work similarly. In fact, they suggest trying to pick up pot to quit heroin these days.
In Vietnam, heroine addict soldiers that came home and went through withdraw mostly stopped...except a minority of addicts. They were addicts before they took that drug. 100%. That's all I'm saying. Or they would dry out and quit.
Who here knows a heroin addict that didn't dry out at least once? I mean -- if that's you needed, to dry out and let your brain start rewiring itself, then jail is a good solution.
But, if that really doesn't help the long term addiction...its a waste of resources isn't it?
