I concur and don't believe I could've said it better.
It may sound too "light and airy" to some to be effective, but accurate and agenda-free is first major step. I was "scared straight" before first ever trying it, and that turned out to be inaccurate information. Now, if I were to speak to young-ins about it, I can't say I would have no bias, but can say, I believe I would speak with sense of balance. Not with sense of forbiddance, but with desire to speak accurately (really honestly). As someone who currently chooses not to use, I couldn't see myself advocating for it's use. Though if it's use was promoted via advertising, and it were legal substance, I wouldn't lose any sleep over fact that I now live in society where it is advertised. Though, I would have high desire to ensure it is presented as substance for use, with sense of balance in the presentation. For every "agent" we bring in that is now so anti-drug, it makes your head spin, we bring in person who seems to be doing very well in daily life and finds enjoyment and peace with their own usage.
Love though is the key. If we are co-creating stigmas and condemnation of usage, then we are both daring our young to become rebels and are responsible for manifesting local criminals. Love may not be the easy way to deal with all of this.
And then again, it may be.
