   Many people have smoked for years with no ill effects.  It does not mean   
   there are none, but means that some people are not susceptible to the   
   harmful agent.  I suspect this is the same with all drugs: a certain   
   proportion of users will go on to develop mental illness some would have   
   anyway, some as a result of the drug.  However, to claim that all users will   
   do so is wrong, but so is it to claim that nobody will.  In an ideal world   
   people would be told of the risks and allowed to make their own minds up   
   about the risks and benefits.
