<<The point is that what you believe are predictors of addiction are not. Clearly, there is a gap in your scientific knowledge lol. For the most part addiction is about genetics and brain chemistry. But the substances available today can bring about addiction in anyone. At any time.>> Not if you never take them! I told my kids to NEVER take any of them and they did what I asked. That is the point. Does ones kids listen to their parents or not. I taught my kids to think, so they had control. I told them they would like the opiates too much so never try them, not even once. I never tried them even once for exactly that reason and I was around that stuff all the time. I used to watch the smackheads shooting up even with Hep B. Many kids do not listen to their right wing parents because they know they are wrong. E.g. if you tell a kid pot is as dangerous as heroin, they know that is bullshit and IF YOU LIED ABOUT POT, why would they believe you about the hard drugs. I saw that manifestation all the time. And most right wingers did exactly that i.e. put pot into the same bag as the hard drugs. So how was the kid to know? Kids who just smoke pot are going to be fine most of the time.
