Pete, you are welcome to your opinion, as are we all. I simply don't accept it, nor do I think that any experience I can offer will change your view. The subject of drug use is pertinent to me as I have not only "been around and amoung many people who have used drugs", but have suffered the consequences of my poor choices, as have my loved ones. Sure, there are many out there who can and do use in their own privicy and never become addicted or experience what they would consider to be a bad trip. Good for them. Should that be the measuring stick for making drugs leagle?? I have never heard of anyone that played the crap table dying from the throw of the dice nor have I heard of anyone who took a sip of whiskey falling over dead from the taste. I have heard and experienced the one time use of illegal drugs killing someone. That's a measuring stick I find suitable for basing my opinion. It's the real life experience of having suffered such a loss that leads me to reject the opinion of one who has not. Again, you are welcome to your opinion on the subject and I repsect you right to air it.
