Answer by Todd-Williams/Harrison
Couldn’t answer that but perhaps it is a stimulant…however, cigarettes may be a comfort for some time and do not cause car crashes. Eventually, all crutches will have to be let go. I am not against methadone treatment for heroin addicts or some sort of chemical substitute for the withdrawal period followed by drugs to deal with mental illness or symptoms. I am against giving people purified versions of the drugs. They will never get off–combine that with free welfare and no need to get a job or get treatment and counseling and it isn’t surprising. I am against this because it is bad for spouses, the addict, children, society and relatives.
