The primary reason behind genetically engineered foods being rejected for mainstream production is not because the crop itself is harmful or because the effects on humans are possibly dangerous. It is to prevent the spread of the genes that have been added to other crops, where they have not undergone rigorous testing. Genetically modified foods themselves are perfectly safe. The only real difference between "organic" and genetically modified foods is that GM food is actually MORE environmentally friendly, as they grow more efficiently than regular or organic crops. There are dangers associated with GROWING GM crops, but not with consuming them. Teenagers getting high of prescription drugs is not the fault of the drug. Quite a lot of substances can produce "high" effects; it is the fault of the teenagers and their parents. The chances of a medicinal drug killing you is significantly lower than the chance of that drug saving your life. Everything you do in life has associated risk, deal with it.
