Fortunately that choice is pure fiction.

No one has ever solved addiction with slavery, as you suggest. Just the opposite: many addicts have been forced by their addiction and circumstances into sex work, and some abducted sex slaves have been forced into addiction to control them.

You seem to have a rich fantasy about what life is like for the impoverished and addicted.
