i've known people who've had the same thing happen to them, but with alcohol. it's not the drug that's the problem. it's peoples desire to get away from their problems. they happen to just use a certain drug to forget about/avoid their problems. also, some people have "addictive" personalities. you know, where they find something that they like, something fun, and they take it to an extreme level. that alone can ruin people. i have that to some extent. my drug for a while was online MMORPG's. it let me forget about the shit that was going on in the real world and get away. i played way too much, didn't care about school and could have concievably lost my job/failed out of school thus ruining my future. i didn't, but i don't think i was far off.

drugs aren't the problem. they're just the means.
