Its generally used as a survival/coping method. It shuts off your emotions for survival but blocks any emotional development. It keeps them alive but most drug addicts remain emotionally like children their whole lives.
I thought so too until I broke my back in '18. All the Dr.'s did was put me on oxycodone for almost 3 years. I refused to take any more, and once I beat that addiction,it is marijuana and CBD that have been the only thing to make life even somewhat livable.
Same with me. Two fractured vertebrae, blown discs, spinal arthritis and sciatica. Its the only thing that helps the crippling pain, including opioids, so you can take your opinion and shove it.
Ever heard of the endocannabinoid system?

That is what I am saying. Obviously you have never been addicted to opioids or you wouldn't even ask such a question.The horrors associated with addiction to opioids effects not only the person, but everybody around them.
I gave it up 3 years ago, feel much better for it.
The stoners I used to knock around with all ask me "How did you do that? I can't do that at all, I wish I could"
Same, except I quit in my mid-20s, many years ago. It was great at first, but then I started having panic episodes and weird, dark thoughts. Gave it up (actually gave everything up; coffee, smokes) and haven't looked back.
