The majority of people I know that use, and the ones I meet online seem content to be addicted. Outside of funding issues and the occasional "what's sex drive again?" they seem to love it (on apart from when they must make a BM). It enables them to handle things they otherwise couldn't. I've met young kids with bone diseases leaving them vulnerable to repeated bone breakage. A fent lollypop later and they're beyond happy, and also have left pain behind.

I know professionals, drowning in whatever their work is. On behind or in debt. Opiates give them the optimism to face another day.

I'm honestly curious to know who is being destroyed by opiates, as in, what does destroyed mean? Outside of finances, legality, quality control, and other non-intrinsic, imposed issues.
