I often see comments like this on HN and my first thought is if the person writing them has any sort experience with drug use.

Have you ever taken any sort of hard drug ever in your life? Or been around the people who do?

What is your experience with drugs and how does it shape your perception of the people who do them and the reasons why they do them?

Is the addiction much different from severe alcoholism? If not different, than my comment relatively accurately describes the logic. I've seen many hopeless alcoholics.

What's your take?
