Apparently Hoffman was clean for 23 years. I guarantee no one forced him to restart using.

No, that's fine, there's lots of people like you out there. I was just referring more specifically to ranchlandselling's post, as he made it sound like Philip was sitting around going "hmm, what should I do today? Hey, maybe I'll stick this needle in my arm and see what happens", when it was clearly a relapse in a serious drug addiction.
Also, there's tons of reasons for drug addictions, and you never really know where, how or why someone started, so it's always a little annoying when you see comments like yours. But like you said, probably not the right thread.
