I think for a lot of drug addicts it is because they are chasing that first high. They do something like coke and it gets them high, but eventually you have to do more and more to get the same level of high because your body builds up a tolerance to it. So some of them decide to try something else and it is amazing so they keep doing it.
I also think a lot of people feel like they will never get addicted. I doubt many people who are addicts had any idea they would get addicted the first time they took it. They assumed they could try it once and be good, but that is clearly not the case for some.
