Yeah, the point is that drugs are fine morally. It's when they're abused they cause issues. There is some line that you've made up where drugs become "bad" but it is made up. Recognizing that it's a made up line is important. I'm not saying you need to use drugs or anything like that, just realize that "drugs are bad" is a blatantly dishonest and untrue statement.

There are also plenty of psychoactive drugs that can be pretty helpful to human mental health. Marijuana also can have many health benefits, and it doesn't cause people to do dangerous things usually. Most of the time it just causes people to sit around inside and not bother other people, unlike alcohol.

Drugs aren't bad. Drug abuse is bad. Doing bad activities while on drugs is also bad, but the drugs are not.

Sure, I don’t say drugs are bad, I say I don’t like them. Why do I have to keep saying this man?

Where did I say drugs weren’t morally fine or bad??
