I don't think anyone will do so, but they might instead talk about their experiences with such substances in a neutral or positive tone, they might describe the experience as "interesting" or "cool". While a person might not be intentionally promoting a substance when they talk about it in this way, what will people who are addicted to the substance think about such opinions? If there's no opposition raised, the substance might be viewed as any other normal item.
This is not a rule to ostracize people who are addicted to various substances, it's to clearly signal that these substances are not cool, not interesting, not something to joke about, not something to try out.
Maybe change the phrasing of Rule 4 to something that reflects that concern. "We don't discuss personal drug use out of consideration for comrades who might have substance abuse issues or bad experiences."
