Druggies Destroy

This is the first time in the history of humanity, from about the 1960s to the 2020s (and most likely beyond) that huge numbers of people, three, four, and more generations in a row, have been doped stupid on drugs. Both legal and illegal psychotropic drugs cause changes in people's mental states, and not for the better. That means that druggies do things that others would not do. They tend to run amok.*

Apparent Scenarios:

Generations of fathers sold drugs when they were not too high to function at all, grandmothers and great-grandmothers did drugs for their aches and pains and sometimes for fun, mothers did drugs out of family habit and to cope with the dysfunction around them, and their babies suffered fetal substance abuse syndrome which caused mental and physical defects. These babies grew up in homes spilling over with drugs, that reeked of drugs, and where accidental and contact highs happened all the time. These badly drugged babies are still growing up to perpetuate the cycle, druggie babies making druggie babies.

Is drug-induced brain-damage and endocrine-disruption cumulative? Is it indelible or is it reversible?

God help us all, because these destructive druggies are our neighbors, our co-workers, our family members. They are ubiquitous.
