"Smart kids are more likely to "experiment" with drugs... dumb kids use them."

This is true to some extent, although many intelligent kids experiment with drugs that are hard to maintain as experiments, and eventually develop into addictions. This could be prevented by factual drug education so the smart and dum kids can decide based on evidence the repercussions for using drugs.
