"wow the fun bits look fun, as long as I don't get addicted....."
If you are a drug user, reading / watching something that others may thing would turn people away from drugs, a certain kind of drug user (perhaps more adventurous) will be thinking, "yeah I'd like to try that".
Used to be like that for me and others I knew. Case in point, all the PCP scare stories, "man gets super human strength, fights off 10 police, gets naked". I would just focus on the "gets super human strength" - yeah should get some of that.
But at the end of the day, drugs are pretty stupid. Fun. But stupid. Doesn't mean we should stop people taking them. Lots of things are stupid - really, if you think about it. Riding your bike down mountains, any of the more "extreme" sports, rock climbing. Anything with a risk that isn't necessary. But it is up to the individual to weigh the risk, the "fun" reward and decide what they want to do
