I will say firstly I'm probably not very well placed to decide but I have an opinion.

There's been a " War" on drugs for many years.

I don't know if this has reduced use ( I'm talking about Cannabis, Cocaine, Heroin etc) but from my perspective I don't see much of the effects of drug use as I go about my normal day.

Is the use/prevalence overstated? Are the effects as bad as portrayed? Are people using as freely as the media might have us beleive and are drugs that easy to get hold of? I know some die from abuse but is it that many in relation to the numbers using?

I've seen pretty well credited data showing nicotine is second only to Heroin in terms of addictiveness.

Do drugs find susceptible people or do susceptible people find drugs?
