| I'm not an expert, Catch 22, so you may have it right, as I said I'm sure it's me that' s confused, but what you seem to be saying is that it is physically addicting because it's physically addicting.
Taking these drugs is a choice. I've heard it said that smoking is more addictive than heroin. I quit smoking when I realized the way that I felt without cigarettes was my body cleaning itself up, not my body craving anything. It felt like my whole body was buzzing for two weeks.
Sure if you take a lot of heroin you'll have a physical illness for a while without it. Best to do that with a doctor. But there is nothing about illness which makes one takes drugs.
Sure some of the effects are pleasurable and you're going to want to do pleasurable things a lot. So is ice cream. I love ice cream, but I don't spend thousands of dollars eating gallons a day. |
