The problem with making everyone seem like an addict is that if Sally does coke of the weekends, it's really easy for her to distinguish herself from an addict. The dangers of casual use aren't publicized as well, certainly not in the universities. The only thing people say is "you shouldn't do that, you could become addicted!"....which isn't a really good argument for the casual user who uses is recreationally. There needs to be more information regarding the dangers of casual use.

Exactly. If you throw out the ADDICTION scare tactice all the time you don't reach the people who know they aren't addicted. Catching them when they're casual users with the potential to quit instead of waiting until some of them become addicts (because some will) is better for everyone involved.
