I don't think the movie is anti-drugs as much as it is anti-addiction. Plain and simple, it's about addiction and how low it can take you. Remember, Harry's mom is obsessed with losing weight. She becomes addicted to the idea of weight loss as much as to the amphetamines themselves.
I think Darren Aronofsky is a great director. Pi is pretty cool. The Wrestler and Black Swan are pretty dull subjects to me, but great films for what they were about. The Fountain is one of my all-time favorite films. It also has somewhat of a psychedelic slant to it which makes me think Aronofsky isn't as "anti-drugs" as some people think after watching Requiem for a Dream. It's also deeper, and more thoughtful of a movie than Requiem.
Requiem is just as much about the cinematography as anything else though. The camera work/editing/effects in it are awesome.
