>it is impossible to become a regular user of opiates without addiction< This is incorrect. And it is the sort of quasi-scientific doctrine that badly distorts the drug issue. Drugs are demonized in our society on the back of such authoritative and yet incorrect pronouncements. Ideas such as this are used to promote the underlying principle (one that I reject) that the price of allowing the citizen to own and use, say, LSD morphine methamphetamine cannabis etc. (ultimately alcohol, tobacco and firearms) would be unthinkably high. It's really just an extension of "Reefer Madness" - propaganda that is patemntly ludicrous to the experienced, but recruits the moral horror of inexperienced upstanding voters. It is not possible to have a balanced discussion of drug use in the USA as long as the Just say No crowd succeeds in selling the idea that drugs are this unconditional evil that sucks the decency, the fear of God out of people.
