Heroin is actually not a really bad 'hard' drug.

My oldest son once came home and said something like that. I told
him it was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard him say. The problem
with heroin is its extraordinarily addictive quality that never seems
to let go once a user is hooked.

True on the addiction. But a heroin addict can lead a productive life.
Now we just have subsidized heroin addiction, free methadone. Meth an
those drugs, no productive life. Side effect of Meth is paranoia. How
many of these mass shooting perps were Meth abusers? My fishing partner is
a retired cop. Was an investigator for the state AG. He said they always
hated taking down a Meth Lab. Drug dealers are paranoid to start with, and
then add in lots of firearms and a drug induced paranoia and things can go
bad. He ended up retired before he wanted to, as broke a knee in a drug
raid.
