Actually, I've been thinking for some time now that talk.drugs
would be a good idea.  Articles on drugs have virtually taken
over misc.legal and constitute a goodly portion of the traffic in
talk.politics.misc.  The issue certainly appears suited for the
"talk" hierarchy.  It's a single issue which seems to generate
more heat than light.  I've been reluctant to propose it myself,
however, because of the recent creation of talk.rape and
talk.politics.guns didn't seem to have much effect in eliminating
traffic in other newsgroups on these subjects.
