Basically from my limited understanding, it seems like the main risk opioids bring on the table comes from the fact that a user of them does not have a lifetime access to a measured clean product. Wanted to throw this thought experiment out, for people that actually have medical knowledge unlike me.
Assuming you had person A and person B, with identical builds health profiles etc. and you were able to control any other factor outside their substance use.
Person A does opioids(say pure morphine) 2-3 times a week, while Person B drinks 2-3 times a week. We can assume both take enough to get fucked up for the day, but because of the clean measured product, Person A can never OD and also can never run out of the product.
In terms of the effect such usage would have on health long term, liver cardiovascular kidneys all the good stuff, which of the two people do you think would be more likely to live the longest?
