The difference between moderate experimentation and catastrophic drug taking is vast. We should not get desperately alarmed about mild social experimentation. But we should get desperately alarmed about the child who is compelled to use drugs. The flat rules like "Just say no" are easy to pronounce but hard to enforce. It's so easy to make that kind of statement, and so hard to live it Saturday night...
