Of course there are exceptions. But the general rule stands.

I say the above from anecdotal experience from my parents and other parents I know, and from quotations I hear from people actually living in prison.

I guess drugs throw off all the priorities, because in the end the actual mechanism that triggers love is in itself a chemical/drug as well.

If you're making a general rule, I would refrain from using absolutisms like "never" which alienate the outliers like myself and invalidate your statement.

It's deeper than drugs. The drug problem is a symptom of the greater problem: selfishness and complete lack of responsibility.
