I'm a tad critical of their use to "turn on, tune in, and drop out". In a way, I'm thinking analogous to J.S. Mills' views on criticism in that it is society's right, and maybe to an extent duty to criticise that which is harmful, or even non-beneficial to society. Maybe I'm just a bit too fond of the utilitarians. but I think that sort of drug use is beneficial with the provision that it provides any sort of net benefit to society.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311526122552265874noreply@blogger.com
