A lot of people in this topic are passing judgment on an issue they don't seem to understand. Not everyone who dabbles in drugs winds up an addict, same as some people can have a social drink no problem but others who do end up becoming alcoholics. Science doesn't know why some people get hooked and others don't, but research has ruled out moral weakness and lack of willpower as the answer. Some people can take painkillers for an injury and stop eventually, while others get hooked. Some people can experiment with recreational drugs for fun and stop, while others get hooked. Some people are emotionally suffering so much they need a temporary escape, but for others it stops being temporary. There are many reasons why people end up addicted to drugs, but I doubt that many of them went in fully expecting to become addicts.

Its really not that difficult to just say no...

Maybe for you it's not difficult, but you're not other people. Do you have any idea what it feels like to be suffering unbearably, then you swallow a magic pill and it all just melts away? Let's say you were struggling with weight loss for medical reasons, and someone says to you, "It's your own fault you're fat. It's not that hard to lose weight, just eat less and exercise more." How would that make you feel?
