Every society and culture has had its pleasure drugs- the things that let people "switch off" from the pain and suffering of conscious life. Hemp (marijuana), Cocaine, Beer and Rich foods are some of the oldest drugs of human culture.  
  And parallel to every society and its pleasure drugs have been those individuals who show a more obsessive compulsive personality and hence a more "addictive" personality towards those drugs.  
  A hundred and fifty years ago, there were far more Opium addicts in the world than Heroin addicts today. Addiction rather than moderation has always been a problem in societies from the very beginning.
