Heroin made me do it

Is it heroin that takes over a person’s life?
Theodore Dalrymple opines.

I have recommended on more than one occasion the writings of the great Anthony Daniels MD, psychiatrist, who writes as Theodore Dalrymple.
Some psychiatrists have much to teach us, and Daniels is one of them.
Read his essay and books on culture and particularly his insights into poverty and decadence.
This week he speaks about heroin. His book Romancing Opiates is a longer discussion.

One thought on “Heroin made me do it”

  1. It takes that long to become addicted? Interesting.
    I have a couple of alcohol recovery acquaintances who have periodic “problems” (more than chronic dependency) with pain killers. They blame the pain killers – and the doctors. – To their amazement, recovery eludes them. What is the correct dose of bleach for them?
