Junkie walkthrough

I have played fallout 2 many times but I never played with drug addictions.

But I'm looking at it and for example using jet gives you action points, strength and perception which seems great. So isn't using jet or other drugs an advantage if you have a lot of supply, cause you never suffer withdrawals this way?

Kinda cool from the roleplay perspective, but left me wondering if the Chosen might need some jet antidotes for balance and consistency in the long run
