Comment by posthumous:
consider adding another level of complexity to the shot. Put this picture in a context that hints of the same love/relationship.

How did this score so low! Great concept, like the touch with the U2 pic. Not as polished as some but this should have scored way higher!

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I believe the first paragraph in your post challenge comments probably sum up your result. Drug use is also not limited or specific to any particular decade in time. You can't expect much from any particular image when it's a rush job. Every now and then you will get lucky, but you can devise a weekly challenge plan that will improve the quality of your work. You may want to try something like this:

Day 1 and 2: Brainstorm the topic and throw out the first 5 ideas you come up with. Look for a unique idea.

Day 2 and 3: Think about how you want to make your photo happen and visualize what you want it to look like.

Days 4-7: Execute your image. If it doesn't look like your visualization, keep trying.
