Drugs

Drugs in society are widely frowned upon. I can understand with drugs like Cocaine, Ecstasy and Heroin, which have proven to be nothing but a scourge on society, with hundreds of thousands of death put down to drug abuse.
The new drug on the market, Mephadrone, a type of plant feeder, facts include http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/184233.php, has had a lot of bad publicity recently, and rightly so. One 18 year old spent 600 pounds a week on the drug and has ended up in jail. For her I have no sympathy.
I do , condone the use of Marijuana. In the words of the highly acclaimed Mike Skinner in his song 'The Irony Of It All', "How can something with no recorded fatalities be illegal?".
In some societies, like the Rastafarian community, its a normal, social occurrence to see a man in the street, 'burnin' up a fatty' and on the whole they seem quite happy an civilised.
Recently, the hit comedy Pineapple Express is hilarious and is dedicated and based around smoking weed.
However it could be said that in the wrong hands any drug can be abused, but then again, can't anything?
