I got this a lot with N0S4A2, there is a whole sequence about the main character abusing ecstasy and it just screams “I have never had a drug habit / lived adjacent to those who have.” Nothing wrong with that, I think the idea that all great artist are depraved is false and damaging to young people. But it wasn’t at all well researched, and that’s a pretty weird drug to chose for having a regular habit of. It’s characterized that she’s doing ecstasy like a couple times a week, alone and just kinda listening to music in her room. That sounds more like a pot habit, and the whole thing reads like the author felt like a pot habit was too light and a heroin or Xanax habit was too much.
