The best way to win an argument is to fully understand the point the other side is trying to make. Or at least try to understand. Once you understand their point of view ... and I don't mean a simple understanding ... you will be able to argue your own side much better.
Of course, that may require some work. You may not want to put that much work into it and it may not be worth your time.
I'm with you ... drugs have a ruined a lot of scenes; not just the rave scene. It's senseless and depressing. Really, it's not the drugs that ruined the scene but all the bad hype and over-zealous cops.
Comparing an illicit activity to a legal one in this case is just nonesense ... but its' not nonsense to the person making that argument. That's what you have to understand. You can just call bullsh*t; but that only makes the person angry and feel justified.
