you miss my point. that you were on a course doesn't matter. nor does your POV 
in general a poem needs to defend itself. at 56 years of age , i've been on and around most drugs most of life. not in a course or a class, and even that doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if i were houdini on opium or winehouse on crack coke.
by all means explain your reasoning but to defend seems a bit of waste once a view has been given. and while chasing the dragon may have a certain metaphorical connotation. in the real world it has only one, junkies are only interested in chasing real dragons. and the metaphorical sense isn't that modern. it's just not a stance taken by users. that's my POV.
while you have a differing one it won't change mine. when i say it isn't about conflict i meant it isn't about you having to try to prove to me that you're right and i'm wrong, as the one giving feedback it's my POV that matters; or not, depending on whether you use it or not. unfair i know and many will disagree with me but that's cool.
i will never be upset with discussions in feedback, unless they break the rules. ><><><
