I'm not trying to imply that I'm supremely knowledgeable in all things drug- or drinking-related. But I do have enough experience with the subject to know not to categorize and typify it in some bullshit tidy moralized dross. I can almost guarantee you that at least a half of your teachers or co-workers smoke/smoked marijuana - and probably not the rat-like ones, either. Does this poem frown upon them all with 'that same knowing stare' of unknowing sanctimony? YES! At least, inasmuch as it's about drug-users, which I still doubt, then, yes, it does. In the meantime, considering that you're a human being living in America/Europe, you likely have dozens of bad habits and ill-conceived notions of your own that are worth looking at, many of them more dangerous than occasional drug use. Why don't you take a crack at one of those next time you post? Does it make you feel better that at least you're not a junkie? Screw that. We all get our various fixes in our own ways.
