I'm an odd Canadian. Yes, I am a Canadian too. I've never even visited the
States. I belong to an American fraternity though; does that count? Oh, and
thanks for the generalization about all 28 million of my countrymen. You must
be one of those guys who crosses the border and, three feet into Canada, looks
for the snow... in July.

Ex-CUSE me, Mr. I've Got a Ph.D in Neurology (or maybe Pharmacy), what was 
that? So I guess we can all assume that after years of dedicated research, 
you've developed a paper or have some evidence that contravenes the present 
body of research? We aren't talking psychologically addictive, although they
are that ( my aunt, who used to work in a hospital, could tell you stories that
would curl your hair). They are physically addictive. Your brain and nervous
system accomodate your toxic intake...BONEHEAD! Goddamn I guess it's clear that
you haven't done any of this shit.
	Nevertheless, the whole point of my original post would have to be that
while doing drugs is wrong (because it's against the law) it's fine if you
wanna do 'em. If you get caught don't come whining to me. If you are using
money allocated to you by the government to keep you alive, you shouldn't be
allowed to spend it on something that will kill you.
	If you are stupid enough to get yourself hooked ( and apparently
someone like you is that stupid), I'm not wild about the idea of forking over
tax dollars to cure you. State run medical facilities are a good idea, I think.
HOwever using them for a FUCKSTAIN (tm) whose got lung cancer because he smoked
three packs a day for his whole fucking life, of some moron whose feeling sorry
for himself and has gine and managed a cocaine addiction is an unwise expense,
if you ask me. I also have firsthand experience here. Sever idiot members of my
family have been addicted to different controlled substances, and in my
opinion, they are a waste of skin. Curing them was a waste of resources.
	As for those other things, I don't know about the others, but I might
start regulating sex, if for no other reason than to weed chuckleheads like you
out of the gene pool.
