My current struggle: drug addiction.

No, not with me, but how to unpack why it is "bad". I'm trying to model its impact on a city. Here in San Francisco it's a huge issue.

Community impacts:
Society's degredation?
Government cost?
Economic overhead?

Personal:
Lowered potential in career, relationships and personal goals?
Increase in depression?
General unhappiness?

Thoughts?

@jurban Recently saw it framed as way to self-soothe. Do folks who choose legal ways to self-soothe, yes you ETOH, take a lot longer to hit rock bottom? And once in recovery, find it easier to reintegrate into society?

(I just deleted a toot that misread your post)
The issue that is the target of the soothing must already be detrimental to the person's productivity and happiness.
I suppose your position could be used to argue that without drugs some people would be less productive?

@jurban
Not my intent. I can see why you deleted it.
