That may generally be true, but it's certainly true of nicotine, alcohol, and caffiene; and it's probably not true about marijuana.
It all comes down to if used in excess or not. IMO it is very difficult to use nicotine not in excess - It is very addictive. And indeed, the "return" of use is highly dubious.
Alcohol is less adictive, but again there's the excess (and wrong time or place) consideration.
I don't view caffience as significantly harmful - This is speaking as an addict.
I have heard the quote "Marijuanoa is the same as beer". I would modify that to "Marijuana is comparable to beer". Again there is the wrong time and place for either.
Also, I think I asked this question in a previous topic. Here it is again.
How would the DEA handle it, if Viagra came into existance as a "street drug"?
