Have you heard of the game musical chairs?

Anyway let’s say 10 kids are playing musical chairs. There are 9 chairs available. One of these kids had broken their leg a few days ago.

Let me ask you this, after the first round which one of the kids is likely going to be the kid without a chair?

So yeah, substance abuse is in fact a problem. However even if you remove all drugs from society, you’ll still have people left without chairs. Just the profile of those people will change.
