Drugs

I thought the ideas that we discussed during this lecture were great. The quotes at the beginning about our bodies constantly inhaling substances that alter our state gave pause for thought and I think we all got very involved when it came to whether or not some drugs should legalized. It just so happened that in the news, some of the points we discussed came up as a new drug with the street name 'meow' has come to light after causing 3 deaths in a week. The drug which is actually legally sold as a plant feed is completely untested and very little is actually known about the affects it has when consumed by humans. The argument that was posed in the news was; how can we ban a drug and make it class a, when we know nothing about it? On the flip side, how can we leave this drug to be bought legally when it has already caused 3 known deaths? What do you think?
Below is a link to a web page that has some interesting stories regarding drug use in America.
