>>11964507People get addicted to drugs because they have issues that aren't getting solved any other way. The whole "sailor who fell victim to the siren song" thing is bullshit in 99% of cases. Take for example OCD. You know what the treatment for that is? SSRIs and CBT. Basically, placebos and "well just don't do that thing that you do".
Now, opioids, those take care of OCD.
It's basically like this for most real mental illnesses.
Of course /sci/ is full of retards, so you're going to get a bunch of people pretending that everyone had the nice upbringing they had.
