As someone who's been dependent on medication for much of my life, first for asthma as a child, now for allergies and autoimmune conditions, I have zero sympathy for people that chose to become dependent on substances for purely recreational purposes.

This guy was a degenerate junkie. Good riddance.

I can't imagine anyone starts using these sorts of drugs with the intent of becoming addicted. Rather, it's much more likely that they are in a dark place that bends their perspective to the point where they think that starting said drugs is a logical decision. Of course, if your issue is that you are incapable of seeing people who are also suffering from a medical condition[1] as human beings, then I have no words for you.
