I do not know if it “changed my view on drugs forever”, but it is very interesting, and the work he has done toward shifting the mindset of addiction globally is outstanding.

Drugs Don’t Cause Addiction
Most people think that the reason why people become addicted to drugs is solely because of the drugs themselves. This, however, is far from the truth, as shown repeatedly by scientific studies on drug addiction. The brilliant short animated video below will explain to you why drugs don’t actually cause addiction, changing your view on drugs forever.
“What causes addiction? Easy, right? Drugs cause addiction. But maybe it is not that simple.”
This video is adapted from Johann Hari’s New York Times best-selling book ‘Chasing The Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs.’
Drugs Don’t Cause Addiction: What Does?
“We are all told as children, that drugs are bad because when you take them you will be hooked. As time progressed, we were told that the chemicals in drugs caused users to become addicted, and we should block them from our lives to help assist improvements. But Johann Hari has questioned these approaches to addiction completely. He started off traveling over 30,000 miles in three and a half years to a broad range of people from very different backgrounds. All of them had personal experiences toward addiction, and he began to make connections, learning from others stories. Hari Summarized what he learned.
What is the Believed Cause of Drug Addiction?
Hari says, “If you had asked me what causes drug addiction at the start, I would have looked at you as if you were an idiot and said: “Drugs. Duh.” It’s not difficult to grasp. I thought I had seen it in my life. We can all explain it.”
He is talking about chemical hooks in drugs that cause our bodies to crave them. It is believed that these chemical hooks cause addiction.” David Wolf
