Not at all. That extreme exists. I'm just trying to use the same unit of measure when we talk about marijuana LEADING to heroin. Prescription opiates are much more similar in effect to heroin than is marijuana. For opiates, it is exactly the same addiction. If you're hooked on oxy, you can substitute heroin at any time. Works in the other direction also. If you're hooked on heroin, you can switch to methadone, for example. Those persons that are hooked on heroin have to be careful they don't get heroin that has had pharmaceutical opiates added to it. Adding the pharmaceutical drugs to the heroin causes overdoses. Anyway .. there is no such cannabis-heroin bridge. They are not direct replacements for each other. It's like confusing the effects of coffee and alcohol. Different worlds. These pills? They are a direct highway to heroin.
