For every addict, there are many responsible adults that can set healthy boundaries and have a positive relationship with recreational drugs. This article is for them.

They talk about partying all night and then going to work on drugs.
And for every adult who believes they have healthy boundaries with recreational drugs, how many are addicts? Based on my experience, I find the words healthy and recreational to be carrying too much water in this context.
A key component of setting healthy boundaries is being honest about the downsides and the problems when used irresponsibly.

This article is not that at all.

I don't see an audience description in the article.

Especially if you're a responsible adult, wouldn't you want to be informed about the downsides?

Awful take on the matter.

They’re all responsible adults until something goes wrong and they do something horrible.

A responsible adult prepares in advance for any risk of something horrible happening. This is why sober Trip Sitters exist. There is actually a market for this; you can pay someone to be your designated driver of drugs. Very common
mhm, just take a look at many families that were destroyed thanks to alcohol
