This is their original believe: they convinced themselves that they could harness recreational opioid use to improve their lives, but avoid the negative consequences that “normies” suffered by doing it wrong
This is claim of later: the realities of recreational opioid use caught up with them and they were blind to the warning signs
There is no need for them experiencing the worst of heroine addiction or whatever for them to be wrong and or right. At that point, they has drug related issues so they were wrong.

Right, so what realities were that exactly? What "warning signs"? How do you know this wasn't just the OP projecting some bullshit that doesn't actually matter?
As is the assumption that it all went to shit, that's why this "story" is useless as some cautionary tale. "Started having problems" could mean anything, from "life spiraled out of control" to "their mom found out and bitched at them".
