There's "doing drugs" and "doing drugs".

Weed and alcohol were omnipresent in my school, and almost all of my old class have a university degree today.

Especially during the late teens/early twenties, a lot of my peers experimented with MDMA, speed or LSD. Most of them are well adjusted adults now.

These statistics are not about heroin or crack.
