Chemical intoxicants have been available to humans in almost all cultures since the beginning of time.

We know that the history of man includes some horrific chapters right up to this day. What part, if any, do those "chemical intoxicants" play in human behavior? What would history have been like if human behavior was not altered by those substances?

Let's hear from the drug warriors about the evils of chocolate coffee alcohol tobacco drugs.

Good piece Wind, thanks. I came across alot of this information when I first started researching prohibition. The schafferdrug library has some great reads from those days.

Can you imagine someone standing before congress and making these types arguements today?

Bump for future reading.

I want to find out what all of those steps on the road to the Drunkard's Grave are. I am facinated by the idea that one step is "Plenty of pickles and pork".

Good find. This is from NIDA? VERY intesting, very interesting indeed. Great read. But doomed to be ignored by our resident drug warriors on the basis that it's old and outmoded and we need to keep the WOD going "for the cildruns" or some such thing.
I have asked them to defend their precious WAR based on the knowledge that its underpinnings are lies, deceits and half-truths... they ignore and continue their evil ways of villifying anyone who questions them and their "mission from God." Kinda like an EPA lawyer I knew once. He got ALL incensed if it was suggested that he slow down in the persecution of people and the introduction of new regulations. It was his "MFG" on the line...

As I read this I kept thinking, "Sheesh-- my tax dollars at work-- to produce something that sounds like an article I probably read in Playboy 30 years ago."

Then I browsed the footnotes...
