>"Just saying no" to drugs in 2025 is like refusing to use computers and the Internet.

Nah not really. You need computers and the internet to engage with the modern world but not doing drugs is fine. I mean they can be interesting but also have well documented downsides.

A possible real world example - I'm guessing here is Elon. The pre drugged up one of a decade ago building rockets and cars I thought was cool. The current Elon doing nazi salutes and cruelly firing people looks to me like someone who's done too many drugs. You can ask yourself which you'd rather be.

And, to your edit: wouldn't take that dude for much of an example of anything really. Except "how do you do fellow kids" IRL - he's such an obvious plant!

All the people near and far who have been putting up with his existence for the past decade, now they could sure use a fat ass jolt to the ol' central nervous. Except they fear it would make their wives invoke Mumbo Jumbo!

Alas, so does engaging with the modern world...
