Ketamine cures opioid addiction at a rate near 50%. This is WAY better than methadone, which only keeps you hooked on opioids

This may in fact be true. I’ve also heard of ibogaine helping with addiction, but here’s the thing, some people are addicted to these pills because they are on them forever. They don’t need to stop, they take them to function normally. To me, that’s what medicine is about, taking medication so that you can have a better quality of life.

If someone wants to stop taking opiate pain medication then that’s perfectly fine, and I feel that the medical community should help them in any way possible.
