The artistically sophisticated people are few and far between, and your help in educating people would be more helpful than this rant - which I'm not so sure is serious. :thumbsup:
The people who can take less harmful drugs in moderation are the ones who are letting their desires be ruled by some element of reason, making their decisions stoical, but I would argue Sagan's brilliance was in spite of his use of cannabis rather than because of it.

Also I notice you admire Nietszche, one of the biggest opponents of Stoicism, Nietszche's ideas that people should give in to their desires of lust, revenge and want are the ideas that make human beings no better than beasts.
