Just like people can be pre-disposed to depression and other mental diseases.

Sounds a little too fatalistic to me. I know I'm only arguing one slice of a larger issue, but I just can't agree with what you're saying. People born under 'normal circumstances' leading 'normal lives' who find them addicted to lifestyle-altering chemicals do not follow the path that they follow just because of a dumb stroke of luck. You know what I attribute these problems to? Arrogance or apathy. These people know what crack can do to you. Yet they think they can experiment with it and remain unscathed. They're 'better' than those suckers that couldn't handle it. Either that, or they just don't care what their choices may lead to.
