Almost right, when it comes to the drug war

Jeff, you know I love you. But you're missing a few points on the drug war and drugs themselves.

Yes. Pot, coke, meth, crack, heroin are bad. Evil. Should be fought to the utmost of our abilities.

Ok, maybe not pot. Pot...I go back and forth on. I know people who are fully functional and smoke pot once in a while. I know people who are addicted, and yet are able to hold down a job, make some decent money, and generally enjoy their life. I also know people who's lives have been ruined by smoking too much pot.

Then again, I know people who's lives have been ruined by drinking too much alcohol.

I guess that's what it comes down to. Does the drug itself cause the addiction, or is it possible to have drugs that don't?

I believe the latter is true. There are drugs which are not in and of themselves addictive. One of these is alcohol. Another is LSD. Another is MDMA.

Psylocibin, which I've written about before, is an interesting drug in that it makes you *not* want to take it again within a short period of having taken some.

Heh. "Mushrooms - My Anti-Drug"

Sorry, that just popped into my head, and I felt the need to share it.

Moving on.

If you are going to ban drugs, then alcohol and nicotine, as well as caffeine, should be on that list. I've seen people jonesing so hard for a cigarette that they're tapping out a nonsensical rhythm on the walls of an elevator. I've seen people who are so in need of an espresso shot that they practically push everyone else out of line at the Starbucks.

You wanna call that "ok" just because it's legal? If it was illegal, we'd have the same problems, only much more widespread. Look at prohibition, as an example. The rise of gangsters and the mob. How can you see that and not compare it to the dealers of today? The only difference is that illegal drugs have been, well, illegal for so long that we're used to it and it's been pushed even further underground than the "tea houses" of the 1920's. Addicts are ostracized in our society, told they are worthless because they're hooked on a drug we've deemed "wrong", while we laugh about our caffeine and cigarette addictions.

Where's the reason in that?
