Thank you for the article. I think that perspective is incredibly important as an activist, otherwise I'm simply evangelizing my POV, my PERSONAL experience. because my personal experience is not the representative sample of all drug experiences. Meaning that by far the vast majority of folks never experience problematic use. So when you said, "I'm lucky it didn't go horribly wrong", luck really had nothing to do with it. This whole notion of "one and done" and the "accidental addict" is prohibitionist propaganda and we're all susceptible to it because it's been drilled into our heads by the media that drugs are BAD and we need to war against them no matter the horrible consequences, which are always worse than the use itself. We're not lucky to survive a drug encounter, that's definitely the rule not the exception. So if we want to help more folks experiencing addiction/problematic use, then we get to 100% rebuke anything ideological and only embrace the data. This approach will give us the very best chance for success.
