Addict Quote by William S. Burroughs
“I meant that people will take anything that gives them a lift, whether it's alcohol or cocaine or the consciousness-expanding drugs or opiates. In Iran, until recently, they sold opium in shops legally, and they had 3,000,000 addicts in a population of 15,000,000. I don't believe that all those people were escaping from "complexes" or anything of the sort. They were simply exposed to it.”
![“Opium is the only drug to' be rely'd on-all the boasted nostrums only take up time, and as the disease [is] often of short duration, or of small quantity, they have gain'd credit which they do not deserve.” quote by Erasmus Darwin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/762/erasmus-darwin-17186_credit_opium-is-the-only-drug-to-be-rely-d-on-a_368750.jpg)
