Cocaine dealers work similarly right ? The first ones are free so that you get addicted and come back for more when you have to pay for it.

Not at all. Drug dealers have never "given the first hit for free": drugs are expensive, and they're (to a first approximation) lots of fun, they don't need addiction to be sold.

And: how would you even ensure that the person who just scored a free hit will come back to you, and not some other drug dealer (especially if she can just score another free hit for first time customers there)?

However, I think it is a pretty common occurrence that first timers often get their first hit from friends or even co-workers.
