LOL. And I TOTALLY agree with you that it's probably no worse than alcohol and shouldn't be illegal. However... since it IS still illegal... if I had been a gifted athlete playing for a premier football team with a bright future ahead in professional football and I *knew* they would frown upon drug use during college, I would have been a lot less apt to give myself permission to go crazy for that one last time.
