Answer by Stupid Should Hurt
Obviously, value systems in society determine what behaviors are acceptable and what aren’t. For the most part, the general consensus in America is that drug use is not just bad, but really bad, so much so that it is illegal and should stay that way. This is partly the result of a social viewpoint that has been pounded into us our whole lives, partly because of religious beliefs, and partly due to observations of the negative effects of drug abuse. Also, there are a variety of social realities that drives people to drug use. This is kind of a complex question, but that’s my short response.
