That's not what a strawman is.

A strawman is a mock representation of someone else's opinion created for the purpose of attacking it.

I'm talking of my own experiences, so it's not a mock representation of anything. You could argue it's a "weak man" argument if I was attacking those anecdotal views. But really I'm not. I'm simply explaining my own views and where they come from.
Well, not really. You used emotional anecdotes to claim that alcohol is treated with far less severity than soft drugs.
