“Somebody had to get the addict started, didn’t they? Dealers have to entice weak-willed people to try junk in the first place. This is really one of those chicken-egg arguments.”
Absolutely not.
Again, it’s economics. Without demand, there would be no supply. Moreover, supply does not control demand.
However, if you want to blame drug dealers for the death caused by the consumption of drugs, are you also going to blame Mc Donald’s for death caused by high intake of fatty foods, and are you going to blame gun manufacturers when ever a person kills themselves or other people with a gun?
It would have to take a heroically rubber-room upbringing that never hears about the possibility of a drug or alcohol etc.
Once the possibility to sin is heard about, the moral choice to seek or to refuse to seek is unavoidable. Even the bible does not hide the danger.
