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.

Have you ever seen methadone users waiting outside a clinic for it to
open? I have. They look like walking dead, all zoned out with no
life to their eyes or expression. Not a good way to go through life.
It's basically trading one addiction for another and apparently heroin
is a much better high.
