It's only confusing if you don't understand the direct correlation between ADHD and drug abuse statistics as well as a host of other things that compound to ruin people's lives. No one said it was a root cause, either. It's well established that ADHD, while having genetic foundations, can be part of positive feedback loop which worsens the condition as well as your ability to cope with it. No need to argue about it; these correlations are well-established in literature.
