Perfect response. I'm chuckling, so thank you.

What's also humorous to me is this entire discussion is centered around vernacular usage of a word versus the scientific definition. Cocaine is cocaine, but "cocaine" means different things to some people and not to others.

Which part is bullshit? The discussion, generally or the pedantic point that the active compound is the same in the various presentations people are arguing about?
