Hatebreed is not straightedge. Straightedge these days is just another way of saying "Cool kids don't do drugs. See how cool I am with my awesome tats that say "STRAIGHT-EDGE?" Only lu$ers do teh pot."
Hatebreed is against ADDICTION, since addiction is about weakness, surrendering of control, and a refusal to take personal responsibility. Addiction doesn't even require drugs, really...everybody's got some kind of crutch they use to prop themselves up because they're too weak to quit it.
