If you have a look at the data on the
anti-drug site I originally mentioned -- not just the data on joints (which I'm sure this particular forum may have an opinion on) but on other things such as crystal meth or kiddie coke, the point is to educate people on drugs that actually do end up ruin peoples' lives if they end up taking them.
It's as cut and dried as educating someone that they shouldn't walk in front of a mac truck, as it's statistically dangerous. Sure, some people will be able to perform some sort of Neo matrix manoever, but others will get flattened.
It's not out of some money-motivated strange thing that people want to band together and educate people on the dangers of drugs -- it's that by and large, if you are a user of hard drugs, you end up less productive and can eventually drop dead. Which, for churches like
mine, it's against our general intentions to have people drop dead - we'd rather they live happy, productive lives instead.
