I some have a bad definition of "will" in mind. It seems they think "will" means "the Holy power of God to do whatever you want." That's not right. Will is the desire of the thinking agent to use its influence on the environment with a goal in mind. Free will is the ability of that thinking agent to act without an external compulsion, i.e. that one isn't a marionette.
So in the case of drug use, a person has the desire to do a drug, and acts (or occasionally chooses not to) to procure and use it. Freely.
Yes. I was just adressing 100% complete free will independent of any variables
