The only difference between the 7oh and Heroin subs

I've been interested in how 7oh is contributing to Kratom (and it's inevitable ban), and I keep an eye on the Heroin sub (I've been off for 10 years this summer) out of a morbid curiousity but also because I volunteer at a local shelter and like to keep up on the rare helpful things that get posted there & a reminder of how bad shit is.

I have opinions on kratom, but good and very bad and I ultimately do not think it should be banned at all. With that being said

The ONLY difference in the 7oh subreddit versus the Heroin one is that the people on the 7oh reddit think they are in control.

It's crazy seeing how similar the two are, the users, the compulsive obsession, the inevitable dread, fanatic loyalty, even the posts ("Look what I just picked up"). I just thought it was interesting, if you took out any key identifiers and made people guess on "is this post from this sub or that sub" I'd be willing to bet most people aren't going to be able to tell
