A comment on The war on drugs is a broken business model. Parent comment
You'd be surprised.
I am an ex-heroin addict, and I will say that I certainly DON'T fit into the "doesn't cause harm" basket. I fucked things up well and truly.
But for every addict, there are a surprising amount of "weekend warriors" who dabble here and there and never get drawn in (for a variety of reasons).
Unfortunately, I was not one of them, even though at the time I thought I was. That is the danger.
