People CANNOT choose to have a personality disorder or not, while people CAN choose to use drugs or not. This is not a fair comparison.

Breaking your leg while climbing or cutting your hand off are accidents and for the most part are very preventable.

While drug use for MOST (not ALL) people lead to addiction. There are millions of people who can uses saws and whatnot all their lives and not have one single accident, but out of the millions of people who try/use drugs I'd say at least 50% become addicted.

So one activity has a predicable outcome (addiction) while another has a unlikely outcome (self injury). You cannot compare these either.
