Chris, Sure hope you read my earlier post to you on the source of projection in psychology.
By "drug fans", do you mean people involved in the profession of psychology or people who are in favour of decriminalizing a societal problem? Or both? As to Freud, your own extreme fear of drug addiction inspires in you what is pegged in psychology as the "All or none" judgment syndrome. You select the worst known traits of an individual, and judge the whole person accordingly. It is a subconscious way of keeping yourself removed from others, revealing a fear of intimacy. It is apparent that you have not yet dared to investigate psychology, perhaps because of what it may uncover, but should you do so one day, you will learn that Freud was in fact a founding father of modern psychology because of his progressive theories on the subconscious mind. There were others who were more interesting, of course. That he was deceived by cocaine was ironic, but hardly negated his accomplishments. I would warrant that you listen to a fair amount of drug-inspired music, be it known to you or not. You have enjoyed scores of films, read books and played video games--most inspired by soft drugs or alcohol at the very least. When you judge p! eople wholly on but one part of them, you cannot know them, or ever make peace with them. And you lose an opportunity to understand not just them but yourself as well. More the tragedy, this reveals how you harshly regard yourself.
