Delete and re-direct to Addiction substance abuse that deals with the subject matter in a more factual way. The article title itself is antiquated, and the article has outdated perceptions of what is a drug and who is a drug user. Non-prescription medication is a drug. Not all drugs are illegal. If you are taking an over-the-counter medication, you are using a drug. Legal status of any substance varies by global location. The embedded list is just a random scatter-shot of the drug of choice for famous names. — Maile (talk) 22:31, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

  • Redirect to substance abuse rather than addiction. Using, say, bath salts doesn't necessarily imply addiction to them. gnu57 00:19, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

  • Redirect to substance abuse, which covers the same ground much better. What a crap article. maybe not the worst article ever written, but a good example of a poorly written article. eg. "The term "user" is typically employed to refer to someone who is a drug user". Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

  • Delete and redirect It almost looks as if the whole thing is computer generated for spam indexing and there's little value to what's already on there. Nothing to be lost from simply losing all of it. Graywalls (talk) 21:42, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Redirect to substance abuse per above.Rollidan (talk) 22:47, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
