I'm not sure how much is novel here, and I haven't looked at the article itself. However, the idea that drugs should be judged by relatively objective criteria--the amount of damage that they do to the user, the extent to which they induce dependence, and the concomitant effects on society--is so straightforward and rational as to be positively revolutionary. *sardonic smile*

At first, you may think that you've seen this before in something like NOVA (since experiments of this sort have been around for a while).

You haven't. Slightly not work safe (language).

Heh.
