I've never been THAT into drugs, the business and psychology of it are more fascinating to me so really it's interesting to see the spectrum of influences drugs can have across people, culture and situations.I haven't. It's just a stereotype for 95% of drug users.The only thing that I think about is cocaine the day after I use it. I want more. But that feeling goes away pretty quickly and I only use it once a month or less.People with very poor self control could become addicted to speed / meth / heroin / coke quite easily though. It's all about moderation and self control.I've actually been looking into those kind of factors for a while now and found some scientific papers over the years on it and I'm not so sure. There have been plenty of cases of people who have great amounts of self control completely go off on particular substances, so they may not get addicted to heroin even if they liked it, but something like MDMA might get them hooked despite it not being "up there" with the main group of heroin, methamphetamine and speed.
