Such pedantic nonsense indicates the author’s desperate but failed attempt for academic recognition. "...when pleasurable drugs are used, they must be used wisely and with situational appropriateness," he writes. This suggests research by genuine academics who found illegal drugs use causes brain damage to be valid. Mr Bischke should be grateful to "drug prohibitionists" like the Salvation Army’s Brian Watters as they are the samaritans of sanity who minister to the broken homes and struggle tirelessly to unscramble the coddled brains of "pleasurable" drug users.
