Thank you very much for commenting. People do differ in their risk of addiction after short term exposure. Although the overall rate of addiction after short term exposure is very low, it's higher in young adults and of course in people with prior history of addictions, and many would suggest that there are potentially people who are individually more vulnerable too.
