"Drugs are a health risk."
However, there are some drugs that carry less risk of physical or mental injury than rugby does.
I find it hard to condemn drugs on the basis that they cause physical and /or mental damage
with out condemning rugby, rock climbing, DIY or extreme sports.
"Drugs are linked to crime."
However, just because one takes drugs does not mean that you will commit crime.
The vast majority of drug users are not criminals.
There is also a link between being male and committing crime.
I find it hard to condemn drugs on the basis that they are linked to crime with out
condemning my gender.
"Drugs may cause you to sit at home all day, unwashed doing no work."
Well, yes, I have seen that often enough. However, you can do that with or
without drugs.
I'm told the Internet has similar effects.
"Drugs can be enjoyable."
Can't really argue with that, that's why they are so popular.
"Drugs can be very un-enjoyable."
Can't argue with that either!
___________________________
I don't take drugs for the same reason I don't take part in extreme sports; for me the
benefits do not out weigh the risks.
If someone else wishes to take drugs then I don't see any logical reason to condemn or stop them.
