Response to Blossom's drugs post

I like the way you've drawn comparisons between illegal drugs and alcohol because some people don't seem to realise that just because a drug is legal, that doesn't necessarily make it different from illegal drugs in terms of the reasons why people enjoy it as well as the distinction between a user and an addict. I also completely agree with the point you make about it being the people who take the drugs, rather than the substances themselves, being the biggest factor in drug abuse and the argument that if it wasn't drugs or alcohol that they became fixated on, it would be something else. For some people, a substance is just an easy tool to use in order to achieve escapism from whatever problems someone already has in their life.
