See, it's overly obvious that you're talking out of complete inexperience and ignorance.
You saying that everyone that has a drug addiction is a weak minded idiot has about as much merit as someone sitting on their couch, watching a professional boxing match, and saying "Man I could beat that guy if I was in the ring".
Yes, there are people who are weak minded and believe they need drugs and alcohol to have a good time. However, this tends to be more of a teenage/young adult phase than a full blown addiction, and they do tend to get over it more often then not.
True addiction is not something you can break by will alone. A lot of addicts are content with their addictions as well.
A lot of people also use drugs casually for the experience. The topic at hand was a Rave. If you go to a rave once a month during the summer, and use a drug, you're not destroying yourself. In fact, you'll probably have a killer time that you'll remember for the rest of your life.
If I was you I'd stick to topics I have direct experience with rather than trying to sound enlightened because you've chosen to abstain from a certain aspect of life.
