pop music and the morality of glorifying drug use

We all know that drugs are bad (mmmmmmkay?) but do the major record labels? Of course they do. They also know that money is good and are willing to do pretty much anything to get it.

Quick question - what do smoking two joints in the morning, having a drug dealer on speed dial and dancing with mary jane all have in common? They are all reference to the coolness of drug use contained in wildly popular songs. I bring this up not because adults don't (or at least shouldn't) know better. Rather, people of a more impressionable age listen to this stuff and get the idea that drugs are cool.

Is this really any different from a pusher offering free hits to people outside a place of education? Of course it is. But still, why don't people ask questions about this. The lack of critical thought applied to what is commonly being consumed as pop culture from people of an age group that are not yet able to make good decisions about their life is a concern to me. It should be a concern for parents everywhere.
