HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Every single thing you have said there is wrong - with the possible exception of the first sentence.

Yes. Of course. So there are no cokeheads sitting at home taking coke alone because they like it. Utter, utter bollocks.
I know someone who smokes opium at home after a hard week at work from time to time - that's a hard drug. She does so maybe once a month, so isn't just hooked on it from when they became addicted when they were trying to impress friends. It is something they enjoy that helps them really relax. I do much the same with weed - have a joint at home after a hard day at work to unwind a bit. It puts me in the right frame of mind to stop thinking about work and to get on with some serious relaxation.

Yes. Of course you can. Makes about as much sense as the rest of what you're saying.

Yeah. All those hipster crackheads. Of course.
People do drugs because they enjoy them. I know I do. I stopped doing hard drugs more than 10 years ago because, whilst I still enjoyed them (mainly LSD, MDMA - I was never a fan of coke which is what most people seemed to enjoy, but just seems to turn people into bigger cunts than they were before) I felt they were starting to take their toll on me and so decided I would stop using them, apart from weed.
There are many, many reasons people take drugs. Some people do drugs to relax. Some people do drugs because they want an escape from reality. Some people do drugs to have more fun in a social setting. Some people take drugs because they are unable to stop. Some people even do drugs because of peer pressure as you suggest, but the assertion that this accounts for the majority of drug users is absurd.

You might believe that. You are entitled to believe that. You are also very wrong in that belief (of what the biggest reason why people drink/take drugs is). Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
You seem to have no real first hand experience of this - because you don't like taking drugs.
How did you form this opinion? Did you talk to lots of people who take hard drugs and ask them if they enjoy it? Did you research this in any way? Or did you, as I strongly suspect, pull this opinion out of your arse?
