Again, I’m not sure I agree. I accept your idea of idolatry for the moment, although I need to think about it some more. I think that drugs are often perceived as the lesser of two evils by the people who use/abuse them. It is not some thing they worship, but rather some devil they hate, but not as badly as something else (e.g endless poverty, abusive and violent relationships, community indifference, etc.). Clearly there are some enamored of the “trip” they provide, but I rather doubt these are the majority.
