There always are, for any drug.

There is the person that uses amphetamines to get high SAT scores, high college grades and stops after landing a FAANG job.

There is the person using alcohol as "social lube". Never drinks alone, never gets wasted.

There is the person using LSD and other party drugs few times per year or less in a controlled setting

And then there are the extremely addicted people. And everything in between. It's a sliding scale. People need to be educated to learn the risks and recognize harmful behavioral patterns.

Simply telling people "drugs are bad for you" might be the abridged version of the truth. But is as effective as the "war on drugs" in reducing drug abuse.
