Also, disagree on this:
I know that opiates and related compounds cause massive paranoia and delusions when used together with Meth.
It is known that morphine and co have an antipsychotic effect thats equivalent to strong neuroleptics.
Without their side effects.
But apparently, the extrapyramidal syndrom is deemed to be more suited for schizophrenics and such than being simply physically addicted without any other side effects and living a normal life else.
I read that almost twenty years ago, and it is not surprising, something medical, but no idea where it was, on- or offline.
To get back on topic:
The entire article is a documentation of, how when the price goes down, the normie drug user will not use less money on drugs.... he will use the same amount, and if the drugs cost ten times less, he will buy ten times as he would normally.
And would you trust a junkie not to keep his doses accurately down when he has ten times as much drugs?
It doesn't take long and he takes ten times as much as well, because he paid ten times less than usual.
It is of course not a sudden change, but over time, slowly(but not that slow).
And thats the entire reason for the reactions described in that article.
Tolerance and thus increasing doses, and thus, in consequence, psychosis.
They should make a rhyme for a public service announcement, like:
"Increasing doses leads to psychosis"
Or whatever

And supply junkies with scales that they can sell at the local pawn shop for drug money

But meant to weigh their doses of course

Addendum:
I agree on all the thoughts of DerAlteSack on benzos.
Those are horrible drugs and need to be frowned upon in the drug scene.
It turns people into monkeys.
Literally.
