"All things being equal"? WTF is that supposed to mean? If you require a drug to maintain your
health and require it for as long as you live, that's "dependency" by definition. Watch now as Roger
redefines "drug" into sub-categories that differentiate between to substances which he thinks have
the potential for use as euphorics (very bad), ones that have no psychoactive properties (good) and
ones that have effects that, while not dangerous, make the user ever cognizant of the message that
"drugs are bad for you" (very good). As long as there's zero possibility that it might be fun to
take, it's safe.
