Sonny's Blues

Early in the story the narrator says that perhaps heroin did “more” for his students than algebra could. Do you think the narrator means this statement to be taken literally?

The narrator is alluding to the false sense of happiness and contentment the drug provides.... a way out of chaos that he cannot provide them with.
