Why is it morally wrong to take drugs??

It is morally wrong to put those around you at physical, financial, and psychological risk.

There are many other activities that pose these same risks, so why are drugs a special case? These potential negative consequences are far from universal; what sets use of certain substances apart? Is it perhaps that they are seemingly easier to regulate than other potentially self-destructive activities?

Well, there goes guns, state lotteries, tobacco, alcohol and don't dare disagree with anybody, you could damage them psychologically by challenging their belief system.

How does smoking a joint do that? BTW - I don't use drugs.
