people get into trouble because they don't know what they are getting into.

I disagree. Knowledge isn't necessarily applied. I may know a sufficient amount about drugs and safer use, but I have irresponsibly used drugs many times.

drug addiction ruins a life

Once again, I disagree. Drug addiction is not a terminal disease. I think drug addiction could more often be a symptom of other troubles.

addiction leads to destruction.

Not necessarily. I think addiction would be an indicator that things are not peachy keen, but addiction doesn't necessarily have to be devestating.

I think it has more to do with ignorance, bigotry, intolerance, and irrational thinking. I don't see why those "drugs are bad" people won't accept that drugs (and other things) are not black and white.
