In what case do drugs put "only the self at risk"? Highway traffic? Property theft? Insurance premiums? Government corruption? Health care? Hollywood? The world's oldest profession? AIDS? Family togetherness? The Internet's worst sites? National secrets? Productivity?
Last year's catastrophic failure in the "Big Dig" was attributed, in part, to drug use. Smoldering tobacco has caused countless fires and fatalities.
