Is drug addiction one of the worst things that can happen to a person?
>>70345478
One of the worst.
>>70345478
no, you are.

>worst things that can happen to a person?
Drugs are pretty awesome Desu.
Most people just suck at life in general and blame their shit experience on external things.
in essence stupidity, willful ignorance, and weakness is the worst thing that can happen to a person

friend burned his house down with him and his little sister in it because he was trying to cook after injecting heroin. 2bh he was always a fucking retard but his sis was innocent
>>70345879
you forgot to include you are also a drug addict
>>70345478
Depends on the person, I got hooked on opiates for about 2 years and just stopped. No intervention or professional help. While I've seen others seek the drug till it costs them everything in life.
No. It is a pretty bad fate when all is sad and done, but it is at least a choice.
There are so many worse things that can and do happen to people. Drug addiction can be more nuanced I guess, especially since people are often born into it, but it's not as bad as slavery or dismemberment, etc.
>>70345478
It's not actually. Just ask William Burroughs.
>>70346201
Was also using opiates heavily for a few years and live a normal life now.
Many people in my hometown make awful choices every day. Homeless, using meth, having children, etc. They don't know how to behave any differently and were raised in that environment. That's sad and all but there is no line where a human being can't be held responsible for their choices.
>>70345478
I'm sure it is, if you've ever had someone in your family that has gotten addicted it really is horrible watching their decline whilst being unable to do anything about it. I turns otherwise good people into liars and thieves.

>heavily
>live a normal life now
no you didnt
>>70346177
>you forgot to include you are also a drug addict
only, that's not true.
I used to do drugs. The only drugs I do now are coffee and occasionally alcohol. I used to trip on acid regularly, heroin in between the acid trips to stay relaxed and cocaine once in a blue moon. Now i just get my release from pussy. Pussy is really all I ever need.
>>70346534
>muh drug boogeyman
>>70346583
What's gonna happen once you can't get any pussy regularly? You gonna trip out and relapse? I really doubt your story
>>70346441
yeah but its their fucking choice, so fuck them.
if you have nay respect at all for life and free will, than you have respect for peoples choices.
Its not even remotely close to the worst thing when someone wastes away and dies from heroin because its their fucking choice to do so.
having a family member murdered and raped by a nigger that only exists because welfare or having your cities water supply poisoned with lead is more along the lines of the worst things that could happen
>>70345478
>one of the worst things that can happen
>not one of the worst series of repeated bad decisions that you can make
>>70346831
>What's gonna happen once you can't get any pussy regularly?
>implying implications
If I find myself unattractive to the opposite sex and can no longer get pussy, yes, I will trip out and shoot bags of heroin into my eyeballs while high on acid and it wont be anyone's fucking business
Probably my roomate and bf since childhood had a pretty severe oxy addiction he's in withdraw now because he just got fired and can't buy more the guy owes me like $500 so hes just my personal servant until
He payes up, sucks because he's a smart guy just addicted as fuck
>mfw he looks like he has cancer always pale
Shits funny desu fucking drug addicts
>>70346897
Its not as easy as just quitting you fucking moron. Willpower isn't all it takes. A lot of people can't even stop fucking watching porn and jacking off
>>70346897
People in America were raised on religious moral ethics bullshit so of course they don't believe in free will or choice. It's holding this country back.

capitalism would say other wise.
If you dont learn early on that the world doesn't owe you anything and that you're responsible for your own success, you're a deluded, privileged babby that doesn't know shit about life and were seriously misguided. Given that i was responding to a socialist Brit, I'd get why he wouldn't think he is responsible for his life, but you american bro, you should know better
>>70345478
Nope, slow amputation of extremities, followed by slow amputation of inner peripheries, followed by slow cauterization, all without anasthesia, is one of the worst things that can happen to a person. After that, maybe what went on in Abu Ghraib and what still goes on in Guantanamo Bay. After that, regular torture. After that, regular rape. And only after that do you reach the threshold of withdrawal for the hardest of drugs. So no, OP, it isn't one of the worst things that can happen to a person.

Did drugs ruin your family? Is that why you're so enraged fellow American?
>>70347742
We mean, is it the worst thing to happen in non-muslim countries.
People's perception of drug use is laughable.
If you ever encounter a spastic who's like "fuck drug addicts man they're so stupid" you can literally destroy their argument with one question
"Do you think most drug addicts want to take drugs instead of feel happy normally?"
>>70345637
i believe it. i had a bottle of tramadol i used up in like a week. its not the worst thing thing to get hooked on but man was that withdrawal a bitch. i cant imagine having to quit meth/heroine.
>>70346534
Based on what? The druggies you see in movies, or the cases extreme enough to make it to the news? You can be a functional heavy opioid user, and you'd be surprised how many people are.
it tends to be self-inflicted but it gets rather gruesome
Islamification is the worst fate
>>70346534
>I'm a weak willed sack of shit, therefore everyone is
>>70345478
Haha, no.
>>70345478
being born without permission is the worst thing that can happen to a person
I was a daily drug user for 12 years. I would take opiates every day, either tramadol, opium, hyrocodone, oxycodone, or, when I could get it, heroin. Besides the opiates I would short-cycle, where I'd take a stimulant, usually methyphenidate in the morning, then take some through the workday, and then at night drink alcohol and take alprazolam until I could fall asleep.
Honestly, being addicted isn't too bad. I finished college and held down a decent job in IT, kept a girlfriend, brushed my teeth, and kept regular hours. After a long time, though, you start to get physical and emotional disturbances. I started feeling depressed sometimes and had issues with maintaining an erection. I would sometimes get heart palpitations. My memory was questionable at best. I just could kind of feel my health decline, and that's why I chose to quit.
Most people don't even get as bad as I do, I was a polydrug user and was very cavalier about my dosages. Most people get hooked on 1 drug.
>>70348867
Tramadol is the worst kind of withdrawal. You're basically withdrawing from 2 drugs at once- opiates, which sucks for about a week, and a venlafaxine type antidepressant which can take hellish months to withdraw from.
>>70345478
being born retarded or with some serious disease is pretty bad
first responder here
can confirm that drugs turn its users into demons mentally and physically
>>70346534
Was using heroin, methadone and oxys a few times a week for years in heavy doses.
You have a point, I never used every day and never injected. When people get sick the psychological barrier to stopping is greater.

Being jewish is.
Recovering opioid/benzo addict here.
Can confirm withdrawal is awful, but still much better than autism, alzheimers, losing a leg or an arm, gender dysphoria, being a 300lb whale, having an ugly wife and kids depend on you, being a sex slave, etc.
Basically there's a lot of mental, physical, and environmental ailments worse than addiction.
The question is, as an addict, can you admit the problem, quit the drugs, and stay clean?
If yes, then you are a decent human being.
>>70345478
>happen to
Fuck that, drug addictions don't "happen to" a person. People become addicted to drugs. It's a conscious action that belies personal weakness.

There's studies showing that an addicts brain starts, when born, with less dopamine receptors than a normal person.
This makes us more prone to impulsiveness and pleasure-seeking behavior.
Nah, i would say full body paralysis is worse.
