It's interesting that this viewpoint gets expressed by people occasionally, who then proceed to imbibe and inhale all sorts of drugs. [Oxygen, sugars, lipids, proteins, etc. are all drugs (and components of them), many of which are even regulated by the FDA. The difference between them and "illegal" drugs is quite often a matter of societal accpetance.] Don Armstrong -- "I'm a rational being--of a sort--rational enough, at least, to see the symptoms of insanity around me. And I'm human, the same as the people I think of as victims when my guard drops. It's at least possible I'm even crazier than my fellows, whom I'm tempted to pity.
