Dont label or dismiss me as an addict. I am only sharing experiences of physically dependent on opiates. It didnt cause any of the negative impacts you state. It is the criminalzation and war on drugs that are causing the negatives just like it did with alcohol prohibition.

No, I was not abusing the mediciene. I have endured chronic pain all my life. The side effects are much milder than other medications out there. ibuprofen and naproxen ruins the kidneys, and tylenol burns up the liver. Celebrex can cause strokes and heartattacks. The similar drug vioxx was...

Youre completely wrong. High tolerance prevents OD. A chronic user will will inject an amount that would kill 10 newbies

Surgeon Dr. William Halsted used morphine most of his life, and lived to 69, longer than average life expectency at the time. William Burroughs took methadone until he died at 83. pharmaceutical grade opiates are not really toxic. They dont damage the liver and kidneys like most otc pain...

I use panhandling example as worse case scenario. It is obviously a less serious crime than theft/prostitution according to the penalty statutes There is no current patent on heroin. If the price skyrocketed, then more companies would start producing it, increasing supply and lowering...

Since it is safe, why is it so important for the user to stop? It is their body their choice

Ive been on large amounts of morphine for years, and people would never know Im on it. I quit taking it because it lowers testosterone

high tolerance prevents OD. A lot of OD's happen when they relapse after being clean for awhile and their tolerance is low

for those of you against legalization, I ask you this. What if god forbid, your daughter became addicted to heroin? It happens all the time to good parents. Would you want her to get her heroin from some unscrupulous, sociopathic criminal that is constantly thinking of ways to rip her off...

Heroin isnt a big deal. People can still function on it. They did a trial in the Switzerland where they gave addicts free heroin and supervised their injections with a nurse. No one ODed and lowered criminality. look it up

look up theraputic ratio. Opiates are safer than a lot of legal over the counter drugs. The user doesnt want to die. They want to get high.

no its the typical idea that people like you, use. If anyone person dies from something or a situation. Its used ruin it for the rest of us. There is nothing 100% safe

lots of children die in vehicle accidents. Do we ban cars and make everyone ride bicycles? Everything has risks.

prohibition will never work. Some people like drugs and thats all there is to it. And criminals will use it to exploit them to make money. Look at cigarettes. Its the stupidest drug their is. Dont get you very high if at all, addictive and people continue to smoke it. People should know...

youre splitting hairs.

and how does injecting heroin of unknown purity help anything?

how does carrying a gun put innocent people at risk? If the situation has deterioted to the point where the gun needs to come out, people are already at risk. btw, the point of concealing a gun is so criminals dont try and take it away from you. I dont understand what the point youre...

You misconstrue what carrying a gun means. Its not about pretending to be Charly Bronson looking for trouble. Its about defending yourself and being WILLING to shoot. Dumbest thing to do would be to pull out a gun and not use it. Then the criminal has a chance to take it away from you and...

its not scary its the truth. Look at the people that bernard getz shot. They ended up in prison. One of them for rape. If you charge a police officer with any kind of potentially deadly weapon like a baseball bat, they will just shoot you. Theyre not gonna screw around with pepper spray...
