Showing ID & signing in to buy OTC cold medicines?

Did you really mean that?

You just equated drug use with drug abuse.  Or is any use of recreational drugs abuse in your book?

Some people are undoubtedly irresponsible, whether they are using drugs or not.  But it is a big leap to suggest that all drug users are irresponsible 'out-of-control' people.

And, do let us keep children out of the discussion?  The 'age of adulthood' has many ways to be defined, but protection of children is an issue that we can, I think, achieve agreement in principle, even if we might disagree on specifics.

You know... This thread is this | | close to become a really thought provoking and sensitive issue for me because of my recent dedication to being sober.

Aside from alcohol, way back when, I tried all sorts of stuff out. I wont lie. Pot, probably to much LSD, shrooms, peyote, luudes, (Don't laugh ok, it was the 70s so shut up) coke, and all sorts of other mind altering substances, mostly hallucinagenics. Trying to open the doors to perception and all that. I once took way much acid... Entirely to much. I was trying to "force a door open" and I took the acid in Tacoma Washington. I came to a couple of days later down in San Jose in California with no recollection of how I got there.

Looking back, now that I am older but I don't know about wiser, I would say what I did constitutes abuse.
