No, many crackheads absolutely choose to become such and, more importantly, to continue living that way throughout their lives despite intervention.
Stop telling people they don't have agency or aren't responsible for their actions or plight, for they absolutely are. They are exactly where they want to be.
I mean all it really takes is some bad decisions to start doing it to cause someone to end up getting hooked on it. Once they end up addicted you can't really say they can just make the choice to stop on their own. And I mean you can't really blame someone for going to drugs when their life is shit and they're stuck living on the street with no way out. Now you can still blame them for any crimes they do after that but I don't think the consequences for them should be prison, that will only make their problems worse. Instead we need places we can force these people to go that are focused on getting people clean and will have the resources to do that.
