But you won’t be counting them because it fucks your arguement, despite using it for weed.

If people were happy they wouldn’t have to use literal drugs

Getting off your box on occasion is human nature.

What if you like drugs because it heightens music?

What if you do drugs just because you like doing drugs

If a person needs an additional boost from drugs, that only tells they wouldn’t have fun without it.
Of course you can like drugs. Just as people love leaded gasoline, alcohol, smelling paint and other shit. I don’t give a fuck what you do, but I wouldn’t invite you to party if getting high is the only reason you came for.

You’re conflating drug use with addiction.

And? I don’t see how this is a gotcha. The baseline for humanity is to miserable. It takes effort to be happy. Which means that people are going to find ways to get it without effort. There isn’t some mystical force that makes sure that we are all capable of being happy and the process of being happy is always going to be in our best interests. Sometimes things are just going to suck and we can either feel how much it sucks or not.
