Drug addiction s NOT a disease any more than a rapist sex addiction or a serial murderers blood addiction. It is an evil lack of control and discipline that an only be addressed with harsh punishment.

Let's dial it back to opioid addicts.

I've known two, one who passed away, who got hooked because they absolutely had long term unbearable pain. I've known one, who got hooked because it was a recreational pass time. Your statement fully applies to that individual.

Let's not lump every addict into the same group.

Is it generally a weakness? Yes. But with some, there really is a genetic predisposition to addiction that can be triggered through little falut of their own.

ok agree.

Let's not lump every addict into the same group.

Perhaps you are right when it comes to addictions in general. But when it comes to heroin I lump every single one of them together. There is no absolutely no excuse in getting addicted to heroin.
