I think people make the distinction a moral one. Being "on drugs" implies poor character or judgement. It's also implies regular use or being addicted.
A lot of people are frequent recreational "drug users" that probably wouldn't be considered "on drugs" by most people who know them, because they are able to moderate and control their use around people.
Is someone who take fen once a week "on drugs", or just a "drug user"?
