> Cantaloupe can kill me (allergy), so I choose not to eat it. Darwin at work... For similar reasons, I'm not pro-drugs.

OT, but why do you drink if you feel this way? Alcohol is perhaps one of the least safe recreational drugs there is. Of course, with proper dosage management and supervision from a sober individual, the risk is minimal. But that applies to all drugs, doesn't it?




Sure! I know I'm not living on the safe side.

But I'm not pro-drugs in the sense that I won't promote drugs. But I'm not anti-drugs either. I guess if anti==prohibition then pro==promotion... If that's a scale, it's not binary, and I'm just not at one of the extremes.

If drugs were marvelous, enlightening and risk-free, of course I'd be pro drugs! Who wouldn't? So yes, it's a scale.
