I am very serious. Maybe you and I live in 2 completely different parts of the country, but I would say no more than 2% use drugs recreationally and 5% use alcohol to excess.

I do not believe that hard core drug use is present in enough of the American population to consider it "normal."

Even if my numbers were tripled, that would still not be enough to be mainstream.

Really? 2% of the people in your part of the country haven't drunk alcohol?

And if there is an amount of alcohol that is excessive, is there an amount of pot?

It's not surprising that the terms have changed from drugs, to "hard core drugs". That often happens when the point has been lost.

LOL, now it's been redefined to "mainstream". Funny stuff.
