    For some people, they see being addicted to drugs as an improvement on their current situation.

    Life is already fucked, might as well get a buzz while I’m doing it.

      Indeed. If drugs are the only thing that can make you feel good, it can feel stupid not to use them.

      If your reasoning is my life is bad may as well take a short term high for long term low. Then it’s no surprise your life is shit. A normal person thinks OK my life is pretty bad let’s not make it worse.

          It doesn’t matter because it will never be a reasonable choice. You can believe that they made a reasonable choice to get addicted if that makes you feel better.
