My argument on why it is more likely more harm than good is the simple fact of not being sober.
There you go! Thats why your (and many peoples) argument is so crass when it comes to the 'illegal' drugs they are railing against. If they had ever actually experienced any of those drugs they wouldn't be framing their opinions in the context of 'sobriety' which is a term most commonly used in connection with alcohol, which is usually their only experience of 'drugs' and if you want to see people doing 'stupid', just head to your nearest bar.

If you are functional enough where you can prevent yourself from doing stupid things while under the influence, then I would concede, but that's kinda like being sober isn't it?!?!
No. The effects of the drugs you are talking about are vastly different from the effects of alcohol.
For example...I'm completely straight atm, and I'm doing the 'stupid' thing of posting in this thread in the hope of showing a know-nothing-ignorant teenager that they don't know what they are talking about and they ought to accept that.
If I had just smoked a fat spliff I'd probably be doing something a lot less stupid and far more productive.
