👉 In philosophy, opiate is a term used to describe the belief that the use of substances such as heroin or cocaine is beneficial for mental health. This view is often associated with the idea that society's focus on drugs should be redirected towards healthier alternatives like exercise and nutrition. Opium is commonly referred to as "the drug of choice" due to its addictive nature, but it has also been used in various contexts, including as a means of torture or for recreational use.
