Yes, sadly enough. However the number of crimes committed to support the habit is the real bummer. If someone decides to play with heroin, and are stupid enough to think they can control it or beat it, ha. There’s zillions of dead heroin addicts through history that confirms in most cases you can’t. Since heroin addicts are slowly killing themselves, it would be more economical to them and the rest of society if they overdosed on the first try. Chairman Mao, the great chinese communist dictator and record holder of murdered people in the 20th century, got rid of the heroin/opium problem in China. He told them that they would be executed, along with the drug dealers, if they didn’t stop. Those that didn’t, were shot. End of problem, Stalin style.
