Why end with idealizing with being on an equal footing with people who utilizes drugs? Is the author trying or emphasizing being a rebel towards these stereotypes of drugs and its reputation? I think it's worth mentioning that, yes, drugs are initially bad with the holders, but that's due to the limitation and how people wanting to access it are for the bents of optionally realization. However, it's good to know that he doesn't entirely want legalization of these drugs, but wants to remove the stereotypes along with these types of drugs to see their benefits instead.
