We smoke cigarettes and don't bother trying to quit. We drink alcohol until it poisons us. We "try" cocaine, heroine and meth even though we know they're terrible for us.
In the movie Sex Tape, Cameron Diaz's
Character does cocaine with her boss and it's presented in a comical way. Throughout the rest of the movie they don't show her craving it or going through withdrawl.
Part of the reason that people do things like this, I think, is because it is illegal. It's a forbidden fruit type thing. I'm inclined to say to just legalize it. That way the prices will go down and the people that want to do drugs can do them.
Those who educate themselves and their children will steer clear of such things. Other countries have legalized all drugs and it has brought the rates of use down considerably.
I am not suggesting that it's better for us to use drugs rampantly, only that we are adults and we should decide what we spend our money on. Eventually, people will become more wise about drug usage and the consequences.
