It's interesting that this viewpoint gets expressed by people
occasionally, who then proceed to imbibe and inhale all sorts of
drugs. [Oxygen, sugars, lipids, proteins, etc. are all drugs (and
components of them), many of which are even regulated by the FDA. The
difference between them and "illegal" drugs is quite often a matter of
societal accpetance.]
