I think we've found a rival for Eric Mading's sheer stupidity.
     
If you had bothered to read my article at all instead of just looking at the
title and deciding to flame at random, you would have seen that I clearly
stated that I am not an illegal drug user.  Illiteracy is your first crime.
     
The "dirtballs" you mention would perhaps not be violent Mafia-controlled
thugs making money from what the government SHOULD be making money from if
it weren't for drug laws.
     
Also, I very much think that many people in alt.drugs will be offended by the
fact that you characterize them as "dirtballs."  OK.  Fellow "dirtballs:" let's
fill this moron's emailbox with flames.
     
Also, as the Department of Justice asserts, mescaline does not cause violence
or physical damage or anything which would justify a law against it.
     
Why don't people as opposed to other people as you are just crawl into a hole
and die somewhere?
     
Pardon me for being a bit blunt, but I'm damn sick of hearing this sort of
stupidity babbled forth as manifest truth.
