Its definitely easier to beat addiction if you aren't living on the street, selling everything you have and are injecting one of the most horrible shit substances but instead you are using a clean, safe alternative that is provided by the state together with prevention programs (which is usually the model for this) - how is it a false dichotomy?
Or are you someone who assumes you just need to "use willpower" and "stop" being an addict? I assure you its not so easy with opiates.

Defined as addiction... You ever struggle with one, loose a loved one to it? Comment comes off stupid.
Interesting fact:
Hordes of American soldiers were doing heroin in the Vietnam war.
When they came back to America we were expecting a massive addiction epidemic. It never happened. Overall, all the soldiers who came back lost the addiction.
Little known phenomenon about addiction that can’t be fully explained yet. What you say is true, but the person you responded to, what he says has an aspect of the truth as well. Look into it.

Lmao. You are so wrong. Addiction is the human brain wanting those sweet molecules to hit binding sites.
But you know, make it poetic or something. Suppose that's how religion still manages to thrive.
There is also very often a psychological aspect, which explains why some addicts are able to stop "cold turkey" if the psychological/contextual aspect of their addiction changes.
