It’s the addiction that is the danger. People need to care about more than just one thing in their lives. If your sole source of happiness is whether you have cocaine or alcohol or meth in your system, it skews the way you think about everything else. Small mounts of also and even cocaine, heck even heroin, aren’t that dangerous to most people, but warping your emotional landscape to the point where it’s all you care about (and therefore generally aren’t ingesting small amounts) is the problem.
