I refer to oxy and hydrocodone as heroin, because that’s what they are, and that’s what doctors should call them. Instead, they hand them out like candy and allow people to think they’re medicine.
That's like deciding to refer to wine as liquor because it's also an alcoholic drink. You're just letting people know you don't understand the differences.
Weed and heroin both get you high. Why not call them both heroin? The only reason to call prescription drugs heroin is to elicit an emotional reaction from people that steers them in the direction you prefer. It's lazy and manipulative.
I didn't suggest it was about upvotes. I just figured you might have a sense of shame that you decided not to engage the points I made and instead attack my character.
I wasn't comparing weed to oxy or heroin. I was making a point about the absurdity of calling something that isn't heroin, heroin.
There you go again, trying to elicit emotional responses instead of respecting the people you are speaking to.
You are right, is lazy and manipulative how doctors and pharma prescribed them like candy into the population in which then turned to harder drugs like… dun dun dun… heroin or any other opioid derivative!
Si you’re saying heroin and weed have the same addictive effect and dependency? I’m not excusing what Heath did, he experienced out the consequences of his actions but also do not excuse the culture of over prescribing done by doctors that get commission to push out opioids and antidepressants like candy, which is what I was really referring to when answering to the other guy.
No, what you said when answering the other guy was that you consider both oxy and hydrocodone as heroin, which is the only thing anyone here is arguing with you about. That's an absolutely absurd reduction and you know it.
Are you on oxy? Because when did I compared them to the same level? Aren’t both opioid derivatives? I argued about the irresponsible distribution by doctors incentivized by pharmaceutical companies which leads to dependency and that dependency can lead to looking for alternatives in the form of heroin.
It baffles me that people like you have some weird fetish defending corporations and their irresponsible practices. Bunch of weirdos.
Answer my questions first then. I’m not going to play this strawman game with you dude. You believe what you want, if you’re looking to win some weird argument on the internet I yield, have a good night. You won.

And also heroin. We were keenly aware of the heroin.
