That's the best way of describing addiction, "hopeless." Selling other people into drug addiction (including by giving away free samples) is the same or worse than selling people into slavery.

It's astounding to me that so many people whose ancestors have themselves been broken under the yoke of slavery, are willing to enslave others into such a horrifying hopeless state, out of mere greed and immoral short-sightedness. Perhaps humanity was always doomed to fail.
