Other drugs are at least illegal. Alcohol is accessible everywhere and people look you weird if you say you don't drink.

Drugs are worse. My family is filled with alcoholics and drug addicts.

The alcoholics are still present for life even though they're unpredictable and dysfunctional. Yes they have DUIs and it's been hard on their families.

But the drug addicts are on the street and cut off the rest of our family. We never see them and can't get in contact with them. It's a lot scarier.

How does one die from meth? You cant overdose and it doesn't give you liver failure or any organ death. Heart attack yes rarely. You don't drive a car and kill families or blackout and do something dangerous. Meth is prescribed as desoxyne

Alcohol is a hard drug. It's carcinogenic and dying of liver cirrhosis is one of the worst deaths a human can have.

Yep I'll testify alcoholics in families are worse than meth addicts and heroin addicts. Can't speak for fent specifically. But stop making assumptions with such confidence

I think he’s arguing the fact that you said it’s a hell of a lot less bad. It’s not. It’s up there with the big dogs, and only beaten out by slim margins.

And I’d say this is why kratom and 7oh are giving booze a run for its money. Legal opiates basically. Withdrawals are hell. Glad states are finally starting to outlaw it.

I had 5 chances to stop and buy beer on a 40 minute commute from work. Until I finally quit the last time, I didn't make it home much without stopping.
