cool another post on Lemmy about not understanding addiction

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Its about not understanding why people get into it in the first place, not why they don't quit after. You can't have an addiction if you never try it in the first place.

I feel like it’s not hard to understand in a general sense. Could be carelessness, depression, ignorance that it will be easy to quit, peer pressure, culture, etc. People make irrational decisions all the time, no matter how “dumb” or “smart” they are.

I agree with you, I'm just saying I think thats what anon was questioning.
