A couple of non-drug abusers arguing for moderation can't change the habits of a whole society, but your article is well-intended and appreciated. Stopping drug abuse either legal or illegal is something that won't take years or decades, but centuries, to be solved. I won't see it in my lifetime.
If anything I'd ask substance abusers to do it in private or not around minors, so they don't set a bad example. This petition would extend to Uncle Kage et al. I'm not going to care for their health more than they care for it themselves. As adults they have an agency of their own. There's a limited number of photographs of cirrhotic livers, or black lungs, or cadavers, I'm willing to see. We live in the information age, so clearly the problem is not a lack of information.
