[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7887011, member: 177"] You do realize that here you are mixing your message? With respect, in our real world, since at least the advent of crack cocaine, there have been drugs available such that [I]one use[/I] may be sufficient to put a person in a state of physical addiction. Their brain chemistry after that use is screwed, and they will forever after be fighting the urge to take more of that drug. At that point, it is not a matter of choice, or strength of character, or "cause of drug use". At that point, the cause of drug use is prior drug use. "I was stupid once," may be the cause. A person may become an alcoholic when their only intent was commonly accepted social drinking. They need not be escaping depression or have some other "reason" to be drinking. Simply having had enough binge sessions out with friends in college may be sufficient for many people to irreparably impact their neurochemistry. Sometimes, there is a reason for drug use. Other times, not so much. [/QUOTE]
