         | advice and make good decisions.

           | Drug user has a negative connotation. It typically implies
           | (illegal) drug (ab) user.
           | 
           | Yes, it's not good to abuse illegal drugs, and I would say on
           | average those folks don't follow advice or make the best
           | decisions.
           | 
           | A person legally using (not abusing), a legal substance does
           | not fall into that umbrella.

             | Not OP, but I would call those people drug users, along
             | with people who smoke tobacco and drink alcohol. Those are
             | drugs, and people are ingesting them for their effects on
             | the brain.
             | 
             | And that's fine, because drugs aren't bad, nor is using
             | them (responsibly). I've used plenty, and I have a job and
             | house and family, and my kids have never accidentally
             | ingested anything apart from the time my 5 year old took a
             | beer from a table during a party and drank half of it
             | before anyone noticed.
