Actually, I completely agree with what you said, Jon. I just wanted to advocate the middle ground of seeing street drugs not as "good" or "evil," but for what they really are - drugs that are unfortunately abused too frequently, to ill effects.

And no, I don't believe in supporting the bottom line at all costs, although I will fight vigorously for the continued freedom of our great nation's pharmaceutical companies to gouge consumers with legal medications! ;) IMHO, the street drug problem is a sad paradox that seems to have no clear answers.

I advocate education, compassion and rehabilitation. Most importantly, I advocate me getting off of this emotionally charged subject before someone dumps a whole crate of tomatoes on me! ;)

I believe in the bottom line and agree with having an open mind, however, do you really believe in supporting the bottom line at all costs? I agree that we should oppose attitudes that hinder research, however, I also think we should oppose attitudes that increase mainstream drug abuse.
