Well, let's be honest. PCP and heroin will never become like alcohol. The only real possibility of a theoretical 'alcohol replacement' is really either pot or coke. I've seen far more belligerence out of drunks than those on coke, but I'm glad we can agree that pot would probably reduce the chaos on campus.

It's just head-shakingly depressing to think about how vilified alcohol WOULD BE if it were a newly discovered drug. If we were a nation of potheads, and beer were suddenly invented, we'd outlaw that sucker in a minute. But since it's 'socially acceptable', WOD-lovers rationalize all manner of chaos that it creates.

Jesus drank wine.

Alcohol has been used resposibly by the majority of society since it existed. I will probably have a beer this evening and feel a slight buzz, with no major change in my personality or feeling.

You cannot say the same for HARD drugs. Like I say, they are a different animal.
