Hey Diligent.

In my nearly 30 years in public health, I've seen the results of just about every type of addiction.

The worst are alcohol and cigarettes.

Drunk drivers, alcoholism, domestic violence, lung cancer and emphysema, etc etc....

By way of contrast, the average heroin junkie is a recreational user, and not the hopeless basket case that you see begging at your local train station etc.

The worst thing about heroin is the addiction, and chronic constipation.

You might be surprised at who is your local heroin or cocaine user.

Some people turn up at the methadone clinic wearing a suit, and driving a decent car.

Others have jobs in every type of industry.

And of course you have the ferals who would shoot up anything that they could get their hands on.

There is NO stereotypical drug user.

Hey dino,
re "I've seen the results of just about every type of addiction."

A serious question: Have you ever heard of anyone injecting a mix of Jim Beam and Vegemite into their eyeball?
The thought makes me shudder, but I was told of some guys doing it.
