The second part of your statement is pretty weak, those are very rare situations.

Far more useful to point out that a lot of people do it out of despair, peer pressure, or even just for fun. Someone who’s massively depressed, being pressured by “friends”, or trying opioids for the first time at a party while already drunk are not in their right mind in terms of making an informed decision.

However, the first part is spot on.

We don’t usually blame people who become addicted to things, because it often isn’t as intentional as the OP is making it out to be in their question.
