How's this for sensible: I spent more than a month in intensive care once on a PCA (aka morphine pump). I KNOW FOR A FACT that drugs like that can seriously fuck with your head and make you do things that you would never want to do. I kept it simple because I didn't want to bring all of this out like this, but I won't let this go unchallenged. I've been there, and it wasn't by choice. That's why I don't touch any drugs or alcohol. I can't back up what I said with proof from my own life.
Hope that works well enough for you to consider it a "sensible anti-drug opinion."

If you have read any of my postings on drugs, you will know that I believe that no drug is completely risk-free. In your first post you implied that this was a good example of why to not use drugs, which I thought was really stupid reasoning, so I brought it up. Incidents like this do not occur often and probably occur as often in non-drug using populations.
Yeah, a lot of people really do go downhill after using drugs, but that doesn't mean drugs are bad. If anything, I'd think it would mean that drug users should use more caution and responsibility. I know that message would be more productive than "drugs are bad".

One last thing. Go here and read this article. There's a legitimate reason why I'll never do drugs and why every single parent that uses drugs should have their kids taken away from them.

That's poor reasoning. Drugs and drug users are two different subjects. You can't use atypical examples like that as evidence that "drugs are bad" and expect to be taken seriously. It's the responsibility of the person.
What about when little kids break into kitchen-sink cleaning supplies and poison themselves. Should the message be "cleaning supplies are bad" or "exercise more responsibility"?
