Education shouldn't be about not doing drugs, but about not getting addicted to
them. It's perfectly fine to occasionally take drugs (you know, like CH₃CH₂OH
or C₈H₁₀N₄O₂, the former of which is a lot worse than a good number of illegal
and "dangerous" drugs like THC), it's not fine to be constantly
stoned/high/drunk/intoxicated. I don't want even more "drugs are bad, mkay
kids" in schools. Drugs are perfectly fine and have been part of human
civilization for thousands of years now. It's only been very recently that people got
the idiotic idea to crack down on them.

>I mean, I already hate the commercial of antidepressant
I live in the UK and I have never seen an advert for antidepressant, or for any drug stronger than aspirin. Sounds to me that the problem you describe is not so much legalisation of drugs, but that your country's advertising laws are broken.
If we legalized so powerful/bad drugs like heroin or cocaine we build a business, if we legalize those drugs then we need to legalized newer drugs, if we let corporation to make money out of drugs, well the first scenario that I can think about is a big pharmaceutical corp. who is investing in order to build super addicted drugs, super cheap drugs (free for the new-consumers ???) and commercial like "Try fancy-cool-drug-name you will get smarter, more beautiful and every woman will want you" (and at the very end a little voice will said very very fast "It can give you dependency")
I mean, I already hate the commercial of antidepressant (that are about the same stuff) and I am sure you do the same, legalize everything will be too much.
There is only one single scenario where it would be possible, when we will Educate (note the capital E) every single person, then no one will use such powerful drugs (heroin, cocaine and acid, i don't know anymore).
