Nope, it’s true
I’m not on the needle and enjoyed quite some opiates during my experimental late-youth
The rule for every recreational drug is to not use it, when you “need” it, but only in festive occasions or periods.

I know several people whose lives were entirely wrecked by opiates. This is a dangerous fucking pack of lies that should get you banned for spreading. This is several times worse than spreading anti vaxx rhetoric.

I know multiple functional addicts. I know way more non functional addicts, but it’s not as black and white as you want it to be.

I could also possibly live years of my life walking in the middle of streets with fast driving cars. But it still would be an absolute fact that it’s a senseless risk to take

They shouldn’t be handed out like candy, as they did in the USA.
I’m with you on that.
Still doesn’t make my stuff a lie, especially what I said about myself

It’s a lie to suggest opiates aren’t dangerous and any issue with them should be blamed on anyone else involved. They are incredibly dangerous. It’s absurd I have to even say that.

You left an edit that basically blamed people for their mental problems, in service of defending the most dangerously addictive drug maybe to ever exist.

That was not what I meant to do
I’m not blaming anyone.
I’m just saying we should focus more on mental health problems, than punishing drug crimes - because drugs aren’t the problem, but how we as a society handle people with problems
I thought, I made that clear enough with the “trying to function” part

There is nothing about acknowledging the dangers of highly addictive substances which says we should punish their users. You definitely shifted blame off the substance itself. Which is quite odd to me, unless your goal is to encourage people to use those drugs.
