When it comes down to it, people who say that line are often doing it to excuse doing something they know they shouldn't.
Now, when it comes to drugs, I say do whatever you want, but honestly, I avoid people who do drugs completely. I even avoid people who drink large amounts of alcohol and I dislike socialising with smokers. Why? Because someone under the influence of a drug is unpredictable, they're usually less pleasant to be around and often it can become violent or tiresome. I see little value is sitting with a stoned guy who's laughing at the funny pattern on the ceiling, I find it pathetic. Likewise I don't want to be with someone who'd drunk either, I don't care about your pub-philosophy that only makes sense when you're pissed and I don't want to stagger around the street singing.
In the long run, and this is coming from someone who's high as a fĂșcking kite as I'm saying this due to the pain meds I take... drugs are a barrier to social activities, if you want to do drugs, do them in moderation and away from your friends, because someone on drugs isn't fun to be around. I know this is true, my moods change rapidly because of my meds, and my friends are good enough to put up with it, but I guarantee they'd rather I didn't need to take them.
do you take cold medicine?
you do drugs too, probably DXM thats hallucaginic
you like coke pepsi tea anything with cafeine in it? you do drugs too, caffeine overdoses 10k a year dead
do you like music?
throw all your music away because just about all of them were on drugs
by the way the most potent phsychadelic known as DMT is found in your blood stream all the time and is the most illegal
and you like to get on my nnuts for being ignorant
edit: tl;dr drugs aren't just the messed up ones like heroine meth or cocaine but things around you all the time you're just propagated to believe otherwise
