Unfortunately, I tend to agree with you. “Tend.”
What help is there for the person who has no one? Or their parents and family are also addicts?
Originally, the Church and local community would help in these situations.
Somehow, we survive. It is a tough life lesson, though. And usually costs us years of life and hurts our health.
However, as “designer” drugs are “improved,” that may not be as easy.
If we keep following the same methodology we have been, the government will eventually claim the only way they can protect us from these "designer drugs" is to simply assume control of everything we ingest.
