No one who is mentally sane would do drugs in the first place. And once you’ve done certain drugs you may be inflicted with a mental illness for years after since some drugs literally put holes in your brain causing you to be impaired long after the drug leaves your system not to mention semi-permanent maybe even permanent states of altered mental status after experiencing drug induced psychosis. And addiction themselves is in fact a mental behavioral problem so yes it is 100% a mental illness and its best we start treating it as such cause the war on drugs has NEVER worked in fact its made things worse and just filled our jail/prisons up
