Most people don't do drugs
You meant to say "most people aren't addicts" the two contexts get misconstrued all the time.
If most people don't do drugs, they also may drink, unless they're Straight Edge pussies. You can do drugs, and not be at the level of an addict, if you have self-control. Most people have multiple prescriptions of OTC drugs, pretend they're any different from those who do illegal drugs from time to time.
shyt, even herbs and spices have medicinal properties. But okay, the weirdos who go on raves taking drugs they won't arrested for, I guess means Jesus Juice is real.
Just saying those humiliating who do take drugs and aren't full blown addicts, are some of the lowest of the low.
I met dumbasses who legit told me
"Weed isn't a drug, because you can't get addicted to it unless it's laced".

Three 6 were really the pioneers of incorporating using drugs outside of weed in their music but they had more topics than just drugs. Gucci, Wayne, Juelz (to a degree) and a lot of southern rappers rapped about sipping syrup which is how it evolved to other opiates (percs, vicodin) Then you had the moody, emo rappers (Kid Cudi) who rapped about doing drugs because they were depressed or an exit of their bleak life. Really just art imitating reality when you incorporate the national consensus on drug usage (opiate endemic)Growing up, songs might mention selling dope, the problem of crack (pcp, coke, as well) in the community, and mentions of smoking weed. Dope fiends and drug addicts were routinely clowned, then like around 00-02 people mentioned x a bit of course Houston had the sizzurp scene, but that wasn't mainstream. But in the past 5 years damn near all the rappers (and singers) to come out are fukking dope friends - Molly, Xanax, oxy (in all its forms), lean, lsd, shrooms, dmt, weed...when - actually WHY the fukk did it become cool to be a drug addict
