That’s a major source of the adult heroin problem.

Perhaps in a sense that is the major source. But the ultimate source is the personal choices that individuals such as these have made in abandoning God and involving themselves with false gods.
And, yes, I have sympathy for people who are addicted to substances, but there is no excuse for putting your destructive needs above the wellbeing of children who are entrusted to your care.
The way we prescribed those drugs, insisting for years that they weren’t addictive, removed a lot of personal choice. Also there’s a lot of biochemical parts of addiction. The whole “personal choice abandoning God” line is, quite simply, wrong, offensively stupid, and shows you should stay away from the whole thing.
