   You seem to be answering 'yes'.

   ...or kick the addiction.

   Many poor junkies are lumpen thieves who as soon as they get some   
   Gramsciite 'drug worker' to get a quack (who's probably himself a   
   smackhead) to give them free methadone, the first thing they'll do is   
   try to sell it. Most of them don't think 'oh, how nice, free drugs, now   
   I can stop thieving from other poor people'.   
      
   An elderly aunt of mine, who is in her nineties, was recently robbed by   
   some fucking junkie scumbag, and anyone who thinks I am   
   'Guardian-reader-ish' about this, should think again.   
      
   The authorities, in the form of social workers, quacks, magistrates   
   etc., tend to assume that people who live in certain areas, and who are   
   unemployed or whatever, are drug addicts. This does not just apply to   
   young people. Nor does it just apply to illegal drugs. Thus   
   middle-aged and older women are assumed to be on tranquilisers. They're   
   assumed to be lying if they say they're not. Scratch the surface of the   
   schizoid culture and you will suss that the authorities WANT the poor to   
   be on drugs.   
      
   Nightclubs for example are run with the heavy involvement of organised   
   drug-pushing gangsters. What do local councils do about it? They take   
   their bribes and laugh all the way to the bank, that's what.   
      
   The rulers could stop the supply of certain drugs in a trice if they   
   wanted to. In Italy in the early 1980s, for example, once the cops and   
   courts had arrested thousands of radicals and had them safely locked up   
   in prison, the supply of marijuana was just stopped. People couldn't get   
   it anywhere. The purpose? To increase heroin addiction, which rose   
   massively, and you could get it everywhere and at a low price.   
      
   Drugs are a means of social control.   
      
   It is far easier to kick a heroin addiction than you might think. All it   
   take is will-power. The bosses WANT people to have low self-esteem, to   
   'present to services', to crawl on the ground; they WANT poor people to   
   rob each other; and they WANT the majority of poor people, who DON'T rob   
   other poor people, to live in fear of anti-social elements who may break   
   the law but who are nonetheless doing the bosses' work for them and   
   should be treated accordingly.   
      
   >The rich can and will continue to take care of themselves.   
      
   True.

               give Coca-Cola to your scum, and your best teddy-bear to   
               Oxfam, and expect us to lick your frigid fingers for the   
               rest of your frigid life." (Mick Travis, 'If...', 1968)
