I don't believe the drugs are bad, like everything else it's how they are used. Someone can use heroin, have fund and that's it. It becomes bad when someone is addicted, does anything to get their fix and becomes society's menace and burden.
One thing which disgusts me about the drug situation in America is that you must never, ever smoke/take anything for fun, except for alcohol, which _is_ a drug, but we're guided to ignore that. However if you have a headache, muscle cramp, if you're too tired, if you're too awake, if you can't get a boner, if you can't function in social situations... JUST TAKE A PILL. Know what folks? If you're out jogging and your leg starts to hurt... it's because something's wrong and your body wants you to stop punnishing it! Should you listen and quit stomping on your torn muscle? Nah, just take some Advil™ and you'll be fine.
These are drugs too and we're influenced to take them at the slightest provocation. We're even shown how people are terribly unhappy before taking the wonder drug and suddenly, afterwards, they're 5000% better, attractive, famous and life is wonderful.
Another lovely piece of hypocracy which I hate is how young people are told in every conceivable way: DO NOT HAVE SEX. If you have sex you'll be a whore, get pregnant, get a disease, walk bowlegged, go to hell... At the same time these kids get to see Viagra (and the new ladies flavour) pills hawked by people who claim that their lives were absolutely falling apart and they were near divorce and/or suicide because they couldn't fuck. Now that they can go at it like rabbits (at $10 a pop in the USA, YMMV) they love each other, the sky is clearer, lights are brighter and they get a big, fat tax refund cheque.
To summarise:
Drugs aren't bad, it's what one does with them.
The hypocracy between demonizing recreational drugs and promoting medicinal drugs is sickening.
I'm a Geek who hasn't had any for a long time. Applications welcome.
