    Neither really.

    It’s a personal choice. As long as they don’t drive or do anything stupid to others, I think they should have fun. Ii’s not cool as potential addiction is not cool, but it’s not a mental problem either as I both drink and eat junk, knowing very well neither does me any good at all.

    Hope that was a decent answer

    But… Uncle Sam said drugs weren’t cool!

    On a more serious note, my views are if it doesn’t hurt anyone else and you fully understand the implications and consequences, you should be allowed to take whatever you like.

    I’m terms of mental illness, I’m leaning towards drug addiction being a result of it rather than a cause. If someone is facing depression and doesn’t have the support they need, they may turn to drugs as their only option.

    I have yet to find a drug addict who stuck with their drug if choice due to anything other than mental problems

    It can be either or neither. Context dependent. Although I’m having a hard time coming up with a scenario where being “cool” is affected by drug consumption in any way.

    Noon addictive drugs are fun. Molly, LSD, etc. If you don’t do something stupid/irresponsible on them or overdo it.

    Drugs are the opposite of cool. The more into it you are the more cringe it is. Yes, even caffeine, alcohol, and sugar. Moderation is a virtue.
