I’ve heard that heroin is cripplingly addictive & makes people’s faces gaunt & haggardly & destroys lives.
Where's my JUUL?

They just say that because they want to keep more heroin for themselves.

Heroin is not even considered a gateway drug, it’s that safe.

Poverty and trauma makes peoples faces gaunt and haggardly and destroys lives. Heroin addiction is one of many other potential symptoms of poverty and trauma. Plenty of people use opiates and opioids medically and recreationally to no ill effects. The drugs are a comfortable scapegoat for people who care more about maintaining their personal status quo than the ability for other people to survive.

A dangerous lie that is insane to have not been downvoted dozens of times minimum.

Just wanted to say this was an insightful and empathetic post from someone who clearly has a lot more direct experience than the guy going off about heroin itself chemically ruining lives

It may not be possible to avoid trauma, but it’s absolutely possible to teach people about safe and less safe coping mechanisms for their trauma. This one is decidedly less safe.

That’s an overly kind description of it. I’ve never known anyone to use more than a little opiates without completely obliterating their life, or coming extremely close to doing so.

I did mention “destroys lives.”
