What game is that: the game where you should actually have some evidence
to support what you claim?

It is truly idiotic to think that the legality of an addictive
substance has some bearing on its effects, or to compare cigarettes to
heroin.

You mean like the evidence you presented to support your claim that
legalizing heroin would make junkies better parents?

I admit I know next to nothing about narcotics. But I would not be
surprised if there wasn't some reasonably functional range between total
withdrawal and being completely blasted. Say the parent is in a program
where they get enough heroin to keep them thinking straight, but not
enough to get wasted. The US is too Puritanical a place to be so
rational about drug addiction, but it's conceivable at least. Isn't it?
