I’ve never seen the attraction of such substances and fear them greatly for their impact personally.
But bad personal choices are on that person. I will not lift a finger to help until they admit it’s a mistake and seek help on their own.
“But bad personal choices are on that person.“
Deliberately making oneself dumber than you already are is a poor strategy for long term survival.

Many people are DEAD because the poison was laced into the heroin without their knowledge.
Doing drugs is stupid, taking poison without your knowledge can be deadly and that is not a personal choice.
The big problem is the Crisis is a FAKE. Toxic RINO late NJ Gov Chris Christie suggested the current CDC Director, who does not have to go thru background checks to the extent a Fed Bench Judge does. He also suggested the SHRINK Andrew Kolodny.
1 Redfield has a grudge..his 37 yr old son OD’d on Herion/Fen laced illicit drugs. 2 He fudged his Ebola research. So he has a ax to grind, and drug dealers and addicts are hard targets. Patients are soft Targets because they use Doctors, Prescriptions, Insurance who can be Intimidated by the DEA. Patients who really need Opioid Meds are now not getting any or very few, even Cancer patients.
2 Kolodny owns some failing Suboxone Clinics.
3 States, cities, counties want $$ from Pig Pharma’s deep pockets to keep them afloat and replace the $$ that they have had to spend on the OD’s Narcan, EMT’s, crime, etc. https://www.minnpost.com/state-government/2019/04/how-big-pharma-became-the-biggest-villain-of-the-2019-minnesota-legislature/

I should know I’ve been going thru dental procedures since August to get a much needed lower denture. 11 lower teeth removed first 3 days of 5 mg Norco, would not cover the 14 days of Level 10 pain. When the front gums developed Bone spurs that had to be surgically removed a month later same 3 days 5 Mg for 14 days of Level 10 pain.
Last week the Oral Surgeon had to Re-sculpt most of the lower jaw. 2 days of 7.5 mg Norco. for 2 weeks of Level 10 pain. ON top of the Level 10 pain I live in as I have several autoimmunes that cause extreme pain no known treatment that I don’t react to, a degenerative spine to boot. I fell in Aug ended up in the ER which was the EMT’s decision. Still am in pain. MRI scheduled for the 24th the Lumbar is Calcified as well. I’m 70, no spring chicken so have OA/OP too.
