Does exercise really do you any Good?

What about when youre using/addicted to drugs,does exercise still maintain its benefits like it would do for a clean person?
Could the positive effects of working out(like healthy weight loss,muscle toning/building,helping with depression and anxiety etc)
be reduced or even completely counterfieted by drugs?

In other words,are there still benefits from regular exercise even if youre a regular user?
 
^it depends on the doses I mean moderation is still key as they say.

it's all relevant. exercise will benefit almost anyone, but the level of exercise you're capable of (both maximum exertion, and work load in any given time period), and are capable of recovering from, will be lower than if you were healthier. A given amount of effort will get more exercise done in a healthier person, but on the other hand, even small amounts of exercise seem to benefit addicts (there's a diminishing rate of return from your training, so the worse shape you're in when you begin training, the quicker&larger the results from it are in the beginning.
exercise will help while trying to use less drugs, the biggest consideration IMO is not overdoing training past what you're capable of (which won't be the same volume/intensity you may've trained with when you were healthier)
