    Yeah, like being held in captivity and tortured endlessly. That’s worse than death. I wouldn’t really say becoming religious is on the same level as Guantanamo Bay.

      Idk man. Watching a loved one throw their life and money away for an invisible man in the clouds is pretty akin to torture.

  death is caused by overdose or medical malpractice such as refusing methadone during withdrawals. if all substances were decriminalized, the association between drugs and death would mostly go away

    Yeah sure I agree but also that has basically nothing to do with my comment

      you implied that death is a natural part of addiction which just isn’t true

        What? Layne Staley died of his addiction, likely a blood infection based on the interviews ive seen. He refused to stop and get medical attention. My best friends mother drank herself to death, with a broken hip, she drug herself into her car and drove to the liquor store and just honked at people until someone would get the liquor she wanted, then drove home to drink alone. These people had every opportunity and resource to stop, and get the drug, and chose the drug, even when their health was wanning.

        Death is perhaps one of the most natural part of addiction. Stopping is abnormal.

    You can’t die from just opioid withdrawal. Alcohol and benzos on the other hand…

  That’s why people should use science backed treatments instead of religious nonsense.
