Drugs are very cheap. 'Society' could easily afford to provide drugs for addicts, so they wouldn't have to advocate drug use to their non-addict friends just to feed their own addiction.

My friend was shot up with Methamphetamine when she was 11 years old, by an angry 14 year old. Her brain chemistry never normalized after that, and neither did anyone know how to help her.
Medicine turned her into a drug addict by injecting her with Depo-Provera at around 19 years old. Science has known for a very long time that Provera (medroxyprogesterone acetate) and Progesterone have opposite effects on the body [1]. Progesterone is actually an important neuro-steroid; Provera suppresses the body's progesterone production. Medical practitioners figure that FDA-approval for Depo-Provera means its basically safe, and indiscriminately inject this bad drug into women who don't want to get knocked up.
