Well, the answer is in the context of the OP. Chopper ask a question of me that deserved an answer and though this string is to him, failing the soon return of Jesus, all of you will arrive in the position Chopper ad I find ourselves in. And when or if you arrive here you will be better off if you can avoid Opium. My mother couldn't and with the prescribed IV Drip, she turned herself off when she needed more to kill the pain than her body could deal with.
We, Christians, are to do our best for God and offing ourselves on Morphine/Heroine/Opium is not doing that one duty. I offered this to Chopper with the hope he can incorporate it into his life but did so in the open so that, as you reach our conditions, you might also value your service to God with it, also.
