Has anyone else ever felt really badly about introducing others to their favorite drugs?
For example, I have introduced maybe three or four others to pain killers and maybe two others to heroin. It's not a good feeling, huh? These friends had already expressed interest in trying the substances for themselves, but without me, they may never have done it.
Thankfully, no one that I have ever introduced to pain killers or to heroin has become strung-out or addicted, but that possibility exists and increases, even, with each new person one introduces to a new substance. (I am a firm believer in addiction-as-disease, meaning that while some may be prone to addiction, others may not be.)
So, in other words, has anyone else ever felt like a real scumbag for introducing their friends to an "addictive substance?"
