Puritanical stuffiness seems to be popular in domestic policy. Coffee is my vice of choice, but I personally don't begrudge others their own, whether or not they wound up on the legal or illegal side of the game of substance ban musical chairs. That being said, and I'm not going to push this point too hard, there is a counterpoint to the relationship of drugs to the arts in that we've seen a lot of tragedy come out of that relationship as well. I wouldn't presume to tell people what they can and can't use, but I likewise wouldn't deny that there are both positive and negative effects of using such substances. I take from your comment though the idea that we overwhelmingly emphasize the negative aspects of substance use/abuse. Obviously people enjoy them, but that never seems to come up.
