I'm not trying to get karmaslapped. Of course, for that, I personally couldn't care less. (understatement)I was somewhat irritated at the time,(/understatement) and so I displayed it through my typing. I wanted to make a point, and I get the feeling I kinda made it.
Marijuana should not be illegal right now -- but that's another story. You're right about those drugs. Just apply refinements in processing: that's all heroin is: refined opium (Hrm. I may have just invalidated my above point, but the fact remains: Sherlock Holmes never smoked opium. He injected heroin. And he was never an addict.). Morphine, the substance to which Hermann Göering was addicted, is a combination of opium, ethanol, and several other substances in water. Crack is a refinement of standard cocaine. Speed or Ice is a type of amphetamine (I believe it's methamphetamine). Marijuana itself is simply the leaves of a member of the hemp family. Household materials, such as spray paint and gasoline, are 'sniffed' to get a cheap high -- and, if logic serves me, that 'high' is the same thing that you get from trying to breathe at high altitude with no O2 mask: hypoxia (extreme lack of oxygen). Induces hallucinations, eventually convulsions, and finally death. Almost anything is a narcotic, if used the right (or wrong, depending upon how you look at it) way.

Suddenly, the little scoutship disappeared and then reappeared right behind the alien warfleet. The gravitic ship's captain hailed the armada. "You are going to be destroyed, but I will give you a choice as to how you want to spend eternity: big pieces, little pieces, or quarks?"
Dead silence.
"Quarks it is, then."
