Doing drugs isn't really a problem. Having a problem with drugs is a problem made worse by prosecution of the problem.

Half of the US is on some form of amphetamine from middle school onwards. We don't have an issue with people taking drugs. We want them to take the right drugs and pay the right companies for them.

You might have a problem with 'drugs' but that's politics.

I'd agree with your premise that having a problem with drugs is the problem, but it's naive to treat all drugs are the same. There are some drugs that have outsized negative impacts on society. Also, what amphetamine is half the US on? Sounds a bit much like hyperbole.

Ritalin, Adderall or any of the other attention correction prescribed drugs
