I do, however, believe that there are 'addictive' personalities that are far more prone to taking enough to get to the physical addiction. Physical addiction is not instantaneous, to any drug, including cocaine.
I beg to differ. Some of the more powerful so-called "recreational" drugs, including heroin and the crack form of cocaine, are capable of addicting the user on the very first use.
And on the point of using these potentially deadly chemicals "responsibly", it's my personal belief that any semblance of responsible behavior ends when use begins. If the first half-dozen results of a Google search on "addictive drugs", "illegal drugs", "recreational drugs", et cetera doesn't turn someone off the notion of deliberately exposing themself to these toxins, or allowing others to do so, their brain isn't functioning properly.
