I understand the whole "no one sets out to be an addict" thing but I think the OP meant experimenting just one time, which is what I've wondered about as well. Everyone I ask makes it out to be impossible, but I think it's a different mentality that keeps people coming back to something. As you said depression and so on - it's a different brain chemistry that affects everyone differently. If someone is at a point of their life where they can't control their mind then I understand it'd be difficult to stop, but not everyone is the same, right? I could be over simplifying but I just don't understand how it's impossible to stop oneself from physically doing something just because their mind/physiology tells them to do it. Let's say if you were locked in a room or paralyzed or something, what force would magically get more drugs into you? Sorry if it seems a dumb question but I just don't understand the idea that trying hard drugs just once automatically turns everyone a hopeless addict.
IIN that I don't understand drug addiction?
