Kids nowadays just purposely do stupid things..just because they make no sense. Like that jackass movie... the dumber the better!
Everything always falls to money. Drug scares, even fake ones, can garner votes (worth money) or at least payment for an article.
Pot became legal in Colorado because they saw the chance to make tax money. If it is cracked down on by the feds, it will be because property seizure and enforcers salaries are profitable.
Side effect/benefit profile of any substance is secondary.
Drugs are of course all bad, albeit to various degrees. This include tobacco of course.

Some even suck the smoldering end of a rolled paper tube, inhale burning plant leaves, and other volatilized toxic chemicals, to the point of inducing deadly cancer to corrupt their lungs.....

Or, they let the carcinogens simply be absorbed through the membranes of the mouth and nose and into the blood. Oh! Wait, that's what we do.
In this era, especially for the generations who are addict to the social media and the Internet,
people usually mistakes popularity as truth, and as correct and cool things to do, to imitate.
The "forbidden snacks" challenge is just one of those dangerous ideas. There were viral ideas, e.g. taking selfies in certain poses on the edge of the roof top of a skyscraper, that led to many cases of instant death of these follow-the-trend teenagers.

I don’t see the harm in college kids eating tide pods. As long as they haven’t reproduced yet, they would seem to be doing the gene pool a favor. That Darwin chap was really on to something!
I'd agree if you took out "nowadays"... Hasn't it always been thus?
Main difference, double or triple the number of kids, and proliferation of ways to publicize whose done the stupidest thing.
I think it's more the interweb. A kid in Anchorage/Chicago/Moscow can do a stupid, put it up on social media and, pretty soon he's being imitated or one upped all over the world. Being a teenaged doofus is very competitive.
I used to enjoy building plastic models from kits, though I graduated to building airplanes, ships, and a pirate musket out of wood and other materials that I designed myself. When using the glue with plastic kits, I always enjoyed the smell, that distinctive twang, but it never occurred to me to huff it.
Pre Xerox, teachers would give us mineographed worksheets and tests, and the smell... we would hall start huffing the paper till the teacher yelled at us, ha ha. Ohh, and if we ever got to borrow the teacher's marker... that smell. The good ol' days.
