An Experience with Modafinil

I've heard this argument in response to sugar.

Sugar can't be as addictive as heroin! People give blowjobs to get more heroin, no one gives a blowjob for a chocolate bar.

But that has nothing to do with addictiveness.

I don't need to murder someone for coffee or provide oral sex for a snickers, because I can easily get those things anywhere, anyway

Pretty sure that sugar is not as addictive as heroin. Heroin users can literally die from withdrawal.

Given now we have dedicated facilities withdrawals from social media, I suppose it is pretty addictive, maybe even as bad heroin, but at least as bad as stimulants.

My comment was unclear, I don't really buy that.

I just mean that it's a bad argument.
