Imagine you have two options, and you must choose one. As this is a thought experiment you need to ignore the practicalities. Would you :


A: Be given a life-long supply of your favourite drug (Oxy, H, coke whatever it is), and could consume it, legally for no cost for the rest of your life, (ignore tolerance) – guaranteed!


B: Take a tablet that would cure you of any existing drug addictions, with minimal/no WD, but that also had the effect of blocking the effects of all drugs (except those medically required, but not narcotics (imagine a new painkiller is developed that is as effective as morphine/Ketamine etc but not narcotic in any way) – this blocking effect would be permanent and irreversible. for the rest of your life, i.e. – you could never again experience the effects of any drug, ever!


The Question is, would you opt for A, or B? Why?

AN
 
A for fucks sake. Why would i care if i had a lifelong supply of medical grade Diacetylmorphine to blow =D? The only thing that would bother me would be my limp dick, but hey, withdrawals and the up and downs are something that are no problem if i have a magically reloading syringe full of smack with perma-sharp diamond tip and invulerable veins =D

Tapering wouldn't be a problem no more, and it would come down to the ultimate test of willpower. Bitches and teh sex, or sailing on the crystal ship... Ahhh.... i wish i had a whish for free ;)
 
i would need to know more about B. how would it cure the addiction? would it mean i would somehow be naturally happy? because i think that's the only way you could cure my want for mind altering substances. even if you erased all my memories of what being on drugs was like, i would still suffer from the desire to alter my mind just like i did before i tried drugs. since about age 16 or so, i have constantly been seeking something i don't have. even before drugs, i always felt like i was missing something.
 
of course i would love to have a never ending supply of medical grade diacetylmorphine as it would be wonderful to get high all the time but my wish for a long time has been that i would have no addiction at all and not crave any of the drugs that i'm addicted to. so i go for B.

Very good point, well put. B wouldn't offer guaranteed hapiness, but would still allow medical relief (for those with clinical depression, and various mood disorders non-narctoic drugs would exists, all missing one current facet - that of inducing Euphoria). IN short the answer to your question is yes, that 'something you've been missing al yur life' would stilll affect you, but narcotic use/misuse as a means of relief would not be an option under B.
 
B
on the condition that is also made me forget about the effects of drugs and to give me the motivation to live life to the fullest, put effort into living, and to fix the depression that drugs let me forget while under the influence.
 
The smartest choice would be B, but Im not one for makin smart choices so A, A, and A

If option A) requires you chose only one drug than I would get bored and option B) becomes the favorable choice. If however A) represents all my poisons of choice for life then I say fuckin A) all the way.
However....
If the drugs just fall in my lap and I never have to wait for them that would kill some of the anticipation and some of the romance; so I would still be bored and am back at option B).
Even so... fuckit! I still have to go with option A), where can I sign up?
 
O MY GOD i would choose A straight up. thats probly because ive never had a really bad addiction. but being 15 and having a life time supply of drugs i dont no how good it would do me but o well you only live once.
