Drugs are harmful, but no more than we think

Wells, that depends on how much each of us think we know about drugs- I know that constant, frequent exposure to antibiotics will result in the formation of super-bugs, or taking copious amounts of paracetamol will fry your liver-, so if you know lesser, than yeah drugs are more harmful than previously thought, but I already think that they are plenty harmful, so in my opinion, no.



Plus, could it just be that he didn't recognize the song to have been sang by Aerosmith because of a multitude of other reasons? He may have become so jaded with making the same music that it sounds all the same, or the song may have had been written by a hired songwriter so there is less of an emotional attachment to aid memory retrieval, or perhaps, he was distracted by the thought of his mortal coil and that of the band's longevity?



Also, objectively speaking, yes it is harmful, but the fact that there is still a market for illicit trading, despite prolific members of society having died from consuming such drugs you refer to and the many anonymous who go into the abyss, would suggest that they are not more harmful than thought (hubris is mostly to blame for the belief that the worse will not befall unto them, even though the chemical composition of the drugs that result in deaths or objective harm, eg, heroin suppresses the gagging reflex, exposing users to a likely death by choking on puke, remains unchanged- to include additional risks from unique production methods would be too ambitious for me). That is to say, the dangers of drugs- excluding unique manufacturing methods-, do not fluctuate with what we think; the harmful side effects are unyielding and ever present in every pill.
