In response to your post directed to me,
> The differences between legal and illegal drugs are not as great as some people imagine.
No disagreement here. Legality is a matter of law, not medicine. In fact, even the law isn't static about that, legality can change very quickly. [There is the problem of who's making the illegal stuff, and that can cause medical problems (like what they use to cut coke or heroin or who's cookin up the latest batch of meth), imo.]

We can't really say I've missed the point on something until I've posted about it. And my post was not about recreational drug use versus pathological drug abuse.

>will easily accept that someone can have a glass of wine or a drink with friends and not be an alcoholic. But if it's a chemical the government has declared to be illegal, suddenly everyone who uses it has an automatic "substance abuse problem". It really doesn’t make any sense, or even hold water from a scientific standpoint.

This board is full of people who are trying to get back on track, and someone bent on derailing just doesn't seem to warrant our "help" so s/he can continue illegal drug use.
