Both “indoctrinated” and “brainwashed” are value-loaded words that may lead to this question receiving biased replies. To “indoctrinate” is to provide only a single viewpoint for ideas. To “brainwash” is to indoctrinate so brutally that the subject is incapable of thinking independently about the subject.

The destructive effect of drugs upon the lives of their users is abundantly clear, and their availability to young people is an offense to heart and mind. Those are givens. The means of opposing drug use, especially among children, are abundantly debated, and education, vigorously pursued, is second only to the example of parents as the best means to that end.
