Since all drugs are chemicals that can change your DNA or cause problems in said DNA, you can pass down a higher chance of addiction to your children.
I've seen this in action in my own family. Both of my great-grandfather's were severe alcoholics, both dying of liver disease later in life. My dad's father did drink constantly but I'm not sure if he was an alcohold. Out of the four boys of my dad's family, 3 have been to AA to battle their alcohol addiction.
On my mom's side, all the grandchildren saw their grandfather drunk and acting weird. Even my uncle who is adopted and two of his cousins became drug addicts. My uncle thankfully dropped it with the help of the army but the cousins are still addicts.
I have never done drugs and I rarely drink because I got to see both sides of the life. I don't want any of it. So there's my say.
