I had been meaning to do this for a long time and finally got around to it. It’s not free for people in my age group but it turns out my insurance from work covered the cost and I just paid an injection fee.

    Thanks! I didn’t know.

    Regarding morphine addiction, I think that’s more the mechanism how to get addicted. After a while there’s all these other addiction dynamics as well, it messes with the brain chemistry and the dopamine system. There’s real nasty withdrawal symptoms… And the substance addiction becomes a thing in its own. I mean I also see with nicotine how psychological and physical effects go hand in hand… And smoking has literally no benefits, other than the mild fuzzy feeling for a minute. Which you don’t even get a lot if you smoke many cigarettes a day. Yet, it’s super hard to stop, for most people.
