...they are bad, or are drugs bad because society does not like them? In his column of April 23, "Ignoring Internal Decay," Joshua Kaufman offers several arguments condemning drug users and drug dealers. He concludes that Blankenship and David, two students accused of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, LSD, mushrooms and ecstasy, deserve punishment if guilty. But to agree that society should condemn the actions of such students, one should examine which of Kaufman's arguments rest on bad qualities inherent in drugs and their dealers, and which rest on society's dislike for both groups. His arguments were...
...more dangerous side than alcohol, his taxonomy between hard and soft drugs is too coarse. Although there is substantial evidence that chronic cocaine and crack use cause mental damage (but Blankenship and David were not in possession of these drugs), no reputable studies have ever shown marijuana, mushrooms and LSD to have measurable long-term effects on intelligence. Ecstasy, however, has been shown to cause brain damage in monkeys under extreme dosages (the dosages were so extreme that similarly large dosages of alcohol would kill any human).

"He was so cheerful and funny," says Leary. "So sarcastic and all that." When Laura Huxley visited recently, she returned the favor not with illicit drugs but rather with a white magnifying glass that Leary uses...
...police raid of the Gilbert Tower room occupied by Blankenship and his roommate, Stephen V. David '96, allegedly revealed quantities of ecstasy, LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms and marijuana. Not too shabby a selection: substances in Classes B, C and D. What happened to A? Not strong enough, perhaps, for the Currier crowd...
