My understanding is that in Australia the consumption of the legal drugs alcohol and tobacco is falling while the consumption of illegal drugs is rising. It's pretty hard to have a reasoned conversation with someone while calling them a criminal.
BTW I heard on TV some American street slang drug advice: "bake and wake". It means: "smoke cannabis and don't die of a heroin overdose". It strikes me that it's all very well to tell kids to stay straight but when that advice has a snowflake's chance it's better to direct them towards something that has less potential for a catastrophic outcome.
