And a clearly malevolent origin for the specific powers having the effect, which makes more sense for them addictive and corrupting.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

I'm with P-C. i thought using his powers gave him a headache and since he seems to have pretty much perfected that one his headaches weren't as bad.
his visions used to give him headaches back in seasons one and two,

Also, I think it would be kind of interesting to see Sam essentially addicted to helping people.

So, more like Dean, then?

Random quick thought from my phone.
Sam knows, in a way that Dean cannot, what living with those powers is like. But Dean, to a greater extent than Sam, knows the cost of using evil to do good. (I would argue that it's a visceral more than intellectual edge in knowledge. Dean doesn't consciously remember some of it, like Tessa and Hell, and Sam knows as much as Dean about what happened to their family, but Sam was not there to see Mary make the deal and was just a baby at the time of the fire, and Dean's had sketchy deals made to save him twice, plus making his own for Sam. I think his gut level grasp of cause and effect is stronger.)

Art Crawl!!!
I agree with that for sure. On the other hand - I think Sam needs to deal with the demon blood someway. If only there were a power of good around to teach him rather than a power of evil. . .

What about a holy tax accountant? I think we've got one laying about the place, somewhere...

Seriously, since Dean has Castiel fluttering about him fairly regularly, why not have him take a look at Sam and, if the powers present some huge danger either to his soul or the side of Good, take them away? Given that he can pull people out of hell and resurrect the dead, I would assume he can undo anything Azazel did (since whatever he did to Sam was an unwilling alteration rather than something he was born with).

At the very least, why can't Castiel freakin talk to Sam? Sam is much more respectful of Angels than Dean. I'll bet a face to face encounter with Castiel would impress the hell out of Sam.
Also, are we sure that Castiel knows what he talking about on the slippery slope. Did God tell him directly that what Sam had to stop doing was using his powers? Or is Castiel misunderstanding a prophecy or general directive?
