Yeah, I think it is normal. I don't think I agree, though, not entirely. I personally don't think people know enough about drugs. You say they know the risks, but I don't think that's always the case. It certainly is a lot of the time, but I also don't think a lot of people know enough about drugs to make an informed decision.
I guess I sort of feel sorry for them because of all the hate they get. I usually view people who have drug and alcohol addictions as victims. I personally think anyone is capable of being in that situation, when put under certain circumstances. However, I guess most people aren't put under circumstances which would lead them down that road. Maybe I'm being completely naive, it's just that I tend to be a bit iffy about blaming someone for something that I think they can't help. Is having a self destructive personality *really* their fault?
I personally think there is enough awareness out there that no one can claim ignorance. But regardless, the path to drugs is a conscious decision, and the decision to continue using, and the decision to not get help to break an addiction... With the few notable exceptions, those who end up with a drug-controlled lifestyle are there because of THEIR poor decision making.
I'm not condemning anyone for it - if you want to smoke or get wasted or high, go ahead and have fun. Just dont bother me, and don't expect any pity from me when it backfires.
Me?:S But I rarely drink alcohol, and I've never tried smoking or drugs. It is possible to feel sympathy for someone without having went through it, you know. I think it's very normal to call them stupid. Perhaps they are. With the amount of risks we're told about, it seems foolish that anyone would go against that. I personally think it can happen to anyone, though. We're all stupid at times. Mistakes happen.
