I also struggle with the distinction between responsible drug users and irresponsible ones. It is very much placing oneself on a moral high ground. Substance use does not occur and escalate from the same starting place. Poverty, trauma, and other systemic factors make some more vulnerable than others. Having protective factors in one’s life does not make you more responsible than those who end up on the street.
