"In other words, the "nuance" is irrelevant. Like I said before, "nuance" is just the liberal way of drawing the line any way you want just so your own vices are covered and the other side's vices are not." Sigh. Forgive me for trying to inject reality into a partisan based argument.

CJ, Totally different mechanisms. Totally different ways to deal with them. The changes to the brain with a physical addiction are much more profound. Let me put it this way then. With the "nuance" you're trying to draw, the logical conclusion would be to ban nicotine and alcohol and legalize marijuana. Actually, you are not that far off. Nicotine is the worst of the lot........rarely does a person not get addicted......but its weed that's banned. Alcohol is a problem only for those who are predisposed.....some say genetically inclined.........to get addicted. So I would rate them as the worst: nicotine; not as bad: alcohol; not nearly as bad: weed.
