So should they tell kids to go do meth or heroin or whatever and hope they don't get a disease or loose their teeth while living in the streets doing crime and whoring themselves to feed the habit until they decide to get help and undergo some really difficult rehab that rarely works the first time?

I never said that either. That is an exceedingly poor understanding of what I was writing about.

Doing drugs is going to ruin your life.

The problem with saying that, other than the fact that it is objectively wrong, is then kids who do try drugs and nothing happens, will think you are completely full of shit (and rightfully so) and keep doing them and then risk actually ruining their lives.

You've probably done a drug yourself within the last couple days. Refined sugar is a drug, we just don't call it that. Caffeine is a drug. It's legal because it keeps people productive. It never ruined your life. I also doubt it had anything to do with how you are apparently incapable of understanding that lying to children in an educational setting is wrong.
