seriously? do you really believe this? the addictiveness of opiates is pretty well known. I have trouble accepting that anybody starts using heroin without knowing they might get addicted.

maybe you meant something like "nobody _intends_ to get addicted". that's a very different sentence.

"It won't happen to me" is, yes, what many young people actually believe. I mean, if you have a logical discussion with them, they'll admit that, theoretically, yes, they will probably become addicted. But as with many other areas, they don't really believe that, and their behavior proves it.

Then you aren't living in reality. People all the time think "this won't happen to me." I think you have a lot to learn about the world; I mean that in a nice way.

you trolling me or what? I mean that in a nice way.
