People are saying that of Red Arrow because match when speddy was on teen titans in comics. He felt that everybody had abandoned him and nobody want know about him and lost his fortune, he developed a heroin problem. And Green Arrow found out he didnt suport him (due to Roy look up to Green Arrow as father) kick out and he became a homeless. Later Black Canary and Green Latern (Hal Jordan) found him and help him. He quits the drugs to prove his strenght to Green Arrow.

I dont think that just because it is a cartoon tha mean that is for kids. For example shows like the simpson or family guy are cartoon but their target aren´t kids. Ok the cartoon network airs the show, they  probably may suguest tha he is alcoholic. Altought he is clone, he probably has same aging problem as Superboy he looks alike like he is 18 forever but he actually only has 10 years old. which in USA, people only can start to drink alcoholic drinks or spirit drinks at age of 21 years old.
