	What does anyone think about the idea of a soc.drugs newsgroups?

	With the increased public awareness of the drug issue: drug
abuse, drug testing, drug wars, it seems it has become very much a 
social issue, affecting our society more and more every day.

	In alt.drugs, alot of the discussion tends towards comments about
the drug war, how it affects our day-to-day lives, how it is affecting
the constitution, etc.  Current conditions and policies are comparable
to prohibition and other less favorable times.

	A 'mainstream' group to discuss societal impact might be a good
addition.
