I couldn't disagree with you more. I wanted to write up a response to this a few days ago but I didn't have time - luckily, Russel brand wrote a few things about Hoffman and the nature of addiction that pretty well sum up my thoughts. I sincerely hope you take the time to read and reflect on what he says.
