: opium, and every pill known to man are easier to contemplate using after one has begun experimenting with pot.

Also, I beleive that a total of 100% of Heroine addicts began their careers by getting kicks out of drinking milk. Ban milk I say.

I'm afraid you're on a slippery slope argument here Stu, and, you know, once we start accepting slipery slope arguments, we're aon a very slippery slope, we'll start accepting that anything leads to anything- you need to proove direct causal links, I can provie a few for you:

1:People, realising that the heavy tabboos laid on such substances, believe that all the advice given them about all others is wrong, and thus move on.

2:People who ahve to buy a dirt cheap drug off blackmarket sources come into contact with other forms of drugs, that ae much more profitable for the blackmarketeers to push.

: Don't you dare tell me that there ought to be some morality which is inclusive of pot smoking. I have plenty of dead friends who know better.

I have plenty of living friends who proove likewise, anecdotal evidence (specifically when it is completely lacking in any tangible examinable evidence) is nt countable.

: Why must we substitute the ideology of the left for time honored morality?

Because its not time honoured, and was cooked up in the 18th-19th centuries- or, again, I ask, shall we go back to the time honoured morality of Hellenic greece?

: If you won't use words like sin and can't define words like superiority, you have no morality at all.

Indeed, we must have a hierarchy of values, buggery babies is worse than spitting on the sidewalk- and all hierarchies are fixed by their supreme good, and we have to build a hierarchy of values around freedom, democracy and social equality and difference, not by reference to some ancient death cult.
