Using that same logic, it stands to reason that making extreme pleasure-inducing agents legal will soon result in their becoming commonplace items of ingestion. Imagine if you will, typical future family interactions:
“Henry, you have put enough cocaine on your cereal. Leave some for your little sister.”
“Mom! Johnny won’t share his opium with me. Make him give me some!”
“Okay. I have one coca leaf for each of you. That’s all you’re getting. So shut up and stop pestering me.”
“If I told you once, I told you a thousand times! Stop giving our heroin to the dog!”
“Honey, do we have any more Ecstasy or did the kids take it all?”
Are we headed for a future filled with stoned kids and pets and exasperated parents on speed? It’s something to think about while passing the joint around.

Cocaine + Coccoa Puffs = a kid effective at cleaning his room, at least until he crashes. Fun scenario.
Sadly it sounds like my household without drugs, sigh! Funny stuff Kathy!
I wonder if the world would be more mellow.
Hehe! A lot more mellow and a lot more weird!
These observations come from a mind that has evolved much further than any psychotropic drugs could.
I think that’s a compliment. 😉
