Except that twin research shows that drug use and progression from light drugs to hard drugs to addiction is largely from genetics: https://archives.drugabuse.gov/news-events/nida-notes/twin-studies-help-define-role-genes-in-vulnerability-to-drug-abuse https://archives.drugabuse.gov/news-events/nida-notes/twin-s... Some quotes: > "The progression from the use of cocaine or marijuana to abuse or dependence was due largely to genetic factors." > "The genetic influence for abuse was greater for heroin than for any other drug." Different paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/9780470015902.a0005230.pub2 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/978047001590... "For instance, it is estimated that 50–60% of the variation in risk for alcoholism is accounted for by genetic factors." Now add this on top of the stuff that affects you growing up you can't control. Saying, "enjoyed doing drugs until it got the better of them" ignores that whether or not you're going to be driven towards drugs is largely determined before you're even born.
