I agree with Chuckster, the whole "drug" scene in America is quite bizarre with the power and dependency of pharmaceutical drugs being the major culprit. It's as though people stopped taking responsibility for their own health and simply go to the doctor and take whatever he/she prescribes. Pharmaceutical companies have way too much power and recreational drugs are criminal, what a strange balance?
Becoming a type II diabetic and taking high blood pressure medication is not really normal but it is normal for Americans. Neither is smoking marijuana daily either. Historically it has been used spiritually and in ritual, it's too strong for casual use but freedom of choice is paramount and maybe that's what our culture needs to learn thru trial and error.
That said, getting back to this topic, I also don't think Joe Blow should be able to have controlled substances and make designer drugs either because vulnerable people such as teens could become victims.
