   They all steal shit, right? Like everything not nailed down, from friends and family too?

   people who get deep into opiates tend to be poor, and having to avoid withdrawal makes them desparate

   Not necessarily, however the minute someone smokes crack they will lie about absolutely everything

   No, I've known loads of smack users who just don't have it in them to steal and often spend long periods in withdrawals because they can't get money. They do gear when they get paid for as long as their money lasts then rely on handouts. A lot have taken to begging as well now too.
   
   Personally I would always steal or deal to pay for my habit but always stole from shops and businesses. I couldn't steal peoples personal property, unless I knew they were millionaires. From experience I've seen that smack addiction doesn't make you commit crimes that normally you would avoid doing on moral grounds. People who burgle peoples homes or rob their own families were already that kind of cunt in the first place, the gear just gives them more reasons and more often the reason to do what they would have had no problem doing in the first place.
   
   I've known very few smackheads over the years that would do that sort of shit. Its just the media always highlights when it does happen and will report those few instances in such a way to give the impression to the public that it is common practice with drug users. The media always jump on any opportunity to demonize drug users and make dragons out of them.

   Interesting, my own experience is the exact opposite--all smack users I've known have stolen cash from their kin. There is no exception to it either. Just one of those things that applies to my life, I guess.

   I would say most opiate addicts I've known have not been thieves. The ones that did steal were generally shitty people to begin with.
   
   Not talking about shit like stealing jerky from walmart. I'm talking about real immoral thievery. Like mugging people and stealing from friends and family.

   Mugging random people and stealing from friends and family are very different things. Mugging randoms says you hate the world, stealing from friends and family says you hate yourself
