My viewpoint I developed in response to all this, after experiencing the productive powers of drugs in moderation, is that "drugs are tools." A car is dangerous, but it takes you from point A to point B. Care must be taken while driving. What you describe is the equivalent of drag racing. But just because people get in car crashes doesn't mean cars don't have positive utility to people and society. They should have taught us that drugs are tools to be used with care. CARE, not DARE.
