Which of their cited sources are wrong? https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/mari... Specifically, these peer reviewed science articles: * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22831980 * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26886046 * https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15866551

Citing a source doesn't make your message unbiased. There is a saying "even the devil can quote scripture."

And then even the devil gets pointed out how they used the scripture wrong. The point being that the data itself is addressed, rather than just ad hom'ing the devil.

Just because something doesn’t have physical withdrawal or isn’t as severe doesn’t mean that it isn’t addiction or isn’t a problem. Your argument is akin to saying that you can’t complain about something if someone else is worse off than you, which is just bullshit. People who are addicted to, eg, gambling, can still have their lives destroyed.

You don’t even know what opioid withdrawal is or why it’s an epidemic Pain receptors. Get it? Literally and figuratively clueless

Condescending much? You don’t know anything about me and refuse to understand my point. I’m not equating these things as equal, just that they do cause problems. The fact that you utterly refuse to try to understand what I write and instead resort to name calling tells me that you’re not worth interacting with.
