Not really. I mean you can always take just one more shot etc.. etc.. There is no obvious bright line between recreational use and addiction. If shooting heroin once a month is okay why not 1.5 times etc.. etc..
Do as much as you want just try and avoid getting physical withdrawal symptoms or a nasty addiction. 1 or 1.5 could be considered a habit but I'm sure it would be easily maintainable. I can even see it growing, but surely there is a choice made when you start using daily. I know then its like you're locked into it and that it takes a lot of
strength to over come an addiction like heroin.
I've been there myself with pills/coke/crack or though never used any of them more than 2-3 times a weak at most, normally a lot less. I know what addiction is like. Your post seems to insinuate that I'm some how looking down on people and that I don't understand addiction.
Anyway I can't be bothered to reply to all of your post.
My original point was just that ciggs are nasty and well addictive and heroin can be maintained without actually falling into a nasty addiction by not doing it too regularly. Also that it didn't eat your mind like the propaganda would have you believe.
I might have said it a bit more brashly but it was a point that I thought more people would have agreed with rather than just saying that they can't control themselves (basically). And can't help their addiction. At least that's what it sounded like to me.
(I've just spell checked it to make sure Soviet Doesn't crucify me for mine and your typos unfortunatly it doesn't replace week with weak
)
