Drugs, when not used in the care and supervision of a physician, can certainly
induce states regarded as detrimental, mostly because of those who prefer
those states to real life.  I think the most interesting part of the above
paragraph is the "when done right" part.

I also find it useful to keep the economically based culture of the culturally
young United States in mind when considering this issue - forbidden fruit
brings a high price.  _Why_ didn't the Prohibition work?
