Drugs would definitely be more common if they were legal. There is no doubt in my mind they would not be frowned upon nearly as much.
However, the danger is the effect they have on people. There is no dispute that the buzz you get from drugs is great but it's the damage that they do to you and the ease of addiction that makes them dangerous. This is why governments make them illegal and this is why they are advertised as bad, evil things. It's a scare tactic but it's their way of controlling the problem.
You just have to look at cigaretes to see that the majority of people cannot control an addiction and a drug addiction is one of the worst kind.
