I think you think I'm making some sort of profound safety and/or merits-of-substance and/or political argument. I'm really not.

Edit: Regardless, I surrender, this conversation is both useless and utterly uninteresting because nobody is talking about the same thing I am. I deeply regret having entered it.

I'd love to hear what point you were trying to make. All I saw was hand-wringing over a "dangerous drug".

GHB is now known as a date-rape drug, even though the leading date-rape drug is alcohol. Your dialog seemed to be buying into the fear.

> I personally advocate for the legalization of all drugs.

So do I. That doesn't prevent me from objectively analyzing the relative potency of two drugs. Not every comment about drugs is a policy argument, and not every statement that one drug is more potent than another is designed to further an agenda.
