LAISSEZ-FAIRE VIEW OF ILLEGAL DRUGS?

So the college preppies are using the drug ecstasy in night clubs - and 
this may be indicative of a lax attitude toward the use of illegal drugs?

Users clench their teeth, faint, and their heart rate goes up?

So what? I can get the same feeling from smoking a cigarette.

What kind of message is our government sending about drug use?

If they can tax it, it's OK. If not, you're going to jail?

The Blade is right. We baby boomers hold a laissez-faire view of illegal drugs.

By the way, what's your favorite drug?
