Unpopular opinion maybe

But you can pick up any drug and do it casually

Booze, weed, cocaine, ketamine, psychedelics, doesn't matter

A drug doesn't make the addict it's a combination of lack of self control, poor impulse control and nothing to live for

Setting ground rules and sticking to them you can do anything

Also some drugs are extremely addictive chemically and have far worse effects, so it's not worth ever doing them.

I agree there

I have done plenty of drugs

There's some I wouldn't touch and will swear people off of

Like opiates for example. They're nowhere near as recreational as say MDMA or Mushrooms or Weed. However they are so addictive you'll sell your grandma for a hit

But.. I know 2x people personally and multiple people online who have shot up heroin once for a laugh and never went back

Those are just the lucky ones. Some people can take a hit without getting addicted, but I'm pretty sure after a second or even third, anyone would become addicted. And many people get hooked after just one.

It's not luck, it's fortitude

Some people can try every drug and never look back

Other people should never try any drug due to their lack of control

Which is why you should start small

If you get addicted to "weaker" drugs then draw a line in the sand and go no further
