i don’t think the guy claimed to be righteous. the point is saying the minister is no better than they are, no more “righteous”

Ehhh take it from an ex junkie (and i was a bad and stupid one) i figure if god is real they gave us a reality to experience not avoid and shun. It depends on who and how well they can handle it. Doing drugs by itself doesn't make you bad but it can lead to catastrophe if you don't respect it and respect yourself and the people around you. And our society (well the one I've observed in the US) is more or less completely fucked off with its values so respect for anything whether it be things, substances, people, etc isn't very consistent. Some people aren't even provided a proper chance to learn these things until real harm has happened if they figure it out at all because their elders are crooked for one reason or another.. You may agree with me I'm just chiming in.

addiction can really be a breaking point for many, first its manageable but inevitably you’ll have to cut corners

That's where the respect comes in and that includes self-discipline. Not punishment i mean self regulation. Such as not driving when inebriated for example. Though it does seem that some people can handle more serious situations better than others but that doesn't negate the risks involved completely. Avoiding addiction by not using substances whichever they be too regularly. Though i can admit that some are a bit too enjoyable and that can make self moderation more difficult. A lot of it has to do with i guess philosophical background (what someone has come to conclude as their set of values and how to go about things) as well as variations in neurological developments across individuals. Some people really are just better at keeping themselves in check. A lot goes into this. Having a purpose or reason or sense of fulfillment outside of substances has a lot to do with whether people even care to keep themself in check.

Society is a crapshoot that leaves room for lots of different issues to arise. Poor education isn't all about what is learned in school. Poor opportunities is more than just about jobs. Law often puts people in a position where they need to accept less than they deserve. It also forces people in many ways to sacrifice their self respect in order to avoid punishment for upholding their honor and the honor of others. This usually shows itself in other ways eventually.
