  The way I would apply "not idolize, but respect" to drug use is that the people who made the drug laws don't have your best interest in mind. So you shouldn't factor their wishes/opinions into whether you personally use drugs. They don't know better just because they are an authority. However some drugs are still illegal, and there are people paid to find people in possession of these drugs and ruin their lives. You would do well to respect those people and their capabilities. I don't see many smart people smoking weed in front of cops. Although I would guess many smart people have experimented, as you suggest.
