Let me clearly state this, and for your sake I hope you listen:
Drugs are not "bad". They are merely what they are. There is no morality attached to them. Repeat after me: Drugs are not a manifestation of moral ideals - they are more akin to a tool in society and society uses them that way.
Is the hammer evil when it is used to murder a living, thinking being, or does that assertion belong to the wielder of it? Pro-tip: the answer is not the former.
Drugs are used all the time - they come with your vaccines, are in your drinking water, allow you to endure surgery, etc. As a drug is any artificial substance that alters normal body functions, you'll find that many things qualify as "drugs".
