while there may be other ways of handeling a harsh reality than drugs, but people will still use drugs when enjoying these other things even if they aren't trying to escape anything. its easy to pass cigarets and beer as a normal part of socity when their effects are worse than any drug out there.while it is possible to do a drug and not become an addict, i wonder about those who get their drugs perscribed becuse of things like depression, anxiaty, and the like...are they consided addicts because there is a need ofr these things in their system, or are they victims of a life that was thrust upon them..does these mean drugs become their new reality, or do we call them addicts, because in the end of the day, they're still useing drugs, cept this time its legal... rember i said that reality is what you create to handle life...
