I agree that there is a lot of misinformation about the dangers of
other drugs.

I still maintain that most ppl have little or no interest in drugs (alcohol or other drugs).

I've not seen evidence that the legal access to alcohol
is what makes ppl try it.

Nor have I seen evidence that lack of legal access to other drugs
prevents ppl from trying them.

The dangers of alcohol are well known, but some ppl do it anyway.
It's not that they don't know the shit is dangerous.
And it's not because of peer pressure.

Ppl use alcohol because they like it.

Same as with every other drug.
