    I am being downvoted because people misread my post, I never said that. If someone is addicted they aren’t really able to think rationally anymore, but that doesn’t mean they’re stupid, and I never said it did.

    The argument that fentanyl can be equated to apples though? That is 100% maximum stupid.

    Also, it is a fact that eating enough apples to kill you is physically impossible so the argument is all that dumber. For a science community there sure are some wildly ignorant and trollish responses.

      I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. Addicts are perfecrly capable of thinking rationally. Acting rationally is another thing, but the desire for more heroin becomes a PHYSICAL need. And your.body and mind have a hard time rationalizing NOT taking something that every signal in your body tells you that you need. A heroin addict trying to kick heroin is akin to you trying to quit eating food. Nobody misread your post, they just all knew more than you.

          The question was about whether or not addicts are capable of thinking rationally. As someone who grew up with heroin addict parents and struggles with addiction myself, I promise you I know what I’m talking about.

      Apple seeds have a significant amount of cyanide in them and you shouldn’t eat too many.

      Don’t you know this, rational thinker?
