I've met plenty of addicts, and they're perfectly fine people when they haven't been pushed to the brink by restricting their access. People can end up pretty nasty this way, the same way that people can end up career criminals - but they almost certainly didn't start that way.

Your perspective seems very out of touch with the reality of things, and I question whether you've actually really talked to any of them at all, and instead are simply arguing in respect to some caricature of one.
