I've tried countless drugs in my life. Too many to count. However, I've never been addicted to anything or even felt any dependence on any substance. I went through about 5K of cocaine in a month with a friend and had no issues when the blow (and money) ran out. I've done plenty of highly-addictive substances including oxycontin and methamphetamine and I never really get the "urge" to do them. If I happen to encounter it, I'll do it with people, but I don't actively crave those drugs. I'm sure many of you have that one friend that has done "every drug under the sun" and yet seems to be able to handle him/herself just fine.
Is this a matter of intellect? Mental maturity? Emotional strength? Spiritual enlightenment?
For example, do you think a traditional Buddhist monk would be more resistant to doing drugs than a random college student?
