i have never seen anyone start anything to look cool in relation to drugs and alcohol. it's a bullshit school of thought that's easy to buy into. they do it because they like it.

i grew up thinking drugs were ridiculous, i'm one of those people you mentioned. but you know what, i was young and impressionable; and the general population disagrees with using drugs; so of course that's how i felt. i didn't know any better because i never had any perspectives from the positive side to teach me or tell me the positives (there are some believe it or not). all i had were parents, teachers, peers, and the media building all these negative connotations around drugs and drinking. of course as a younger kid i took them all in and that was that. as people get older, they get curious. they start to look at the other side of things, and DEAR GOD they might even try it and like it. it happens all the time through life with lots of things. people change their minds, because people change. simple as that. and you know what, yeah sometimes the negatives outweigh the positives, but i'm not willing to live my life sheltered.
