That's a massive over-generalisation that doesn't apply to anywhere near all drug users, though.

All drug users? no, of course not, but all junkies? Yes, all junkies are the same. When your need for something is that strong yes, that generalization works.

okay, topic at hand, it seems to me that the idea of coke being used as a terrorist weapon ignores the obvious fact that reliable custom for their narcotics is more advantageous to terrorists than a few junkies dying.
also, you'ld think that if terrorists were going to attack the US they might do it through the afghan heroin rather than the colombian coc aine.

As an x-junkie, Sir; I do not agree with you. But nor do I deny that the problem of which you speak does, indeed, exist -- and is a real problem. It's just not as widespread as you claim.

So true.
Many people can use drugs occasionally without resorting to stealing or engaging in any other illegal or irresponsible behavior.
Why can your doc prescribe you millions of different pills to make your head feel better, or you can drink yourself into a stupor, or smoke cigarettes to relieve your stress, but a person isn't allowed to go outside the regularly sanctioned routes, as long as they are responsible about it?
