Well said. I would never encourage the use of addictive drugs and didn't intend to come across as such—of course it also ruins many lives, a fact that I find so obvious it seems absurd to me to refute. All I mean to say is that drugs and addiction are complicated and can virtually every effect imaginable on people, including very positive ones (though for "hard", physically wasting drugs I struggle with this idea).
