That could be because you probably assume that any drug use leads to addiction and despair. More often than not, despair leads to drug use as means for temporary escape and relief.

No, I assume most drug use leads to addiction except maybe "try once" cases, which I wouldn't call "use" like I don't call people who tried smoking once in their lifetime "smokers".

Despair is not even in the picture. Too bad you paint it as a viable excuse for making yourself even more stupid than usual.

Taking drugs doesn't make you stupid. However, ignorance is a powerful contributor.
