Like I said, Andrew, I've drawn my line on the issue, and I stated what would 
be required to cross that line.
 AS> Procaine, Novocaine and a host ofother anesthetic drugs are
 AS> essentially cocaine... would you, because of a decision made by an
 AS> unscientific political body, ban their certainly useful applications
 AS> in medicine and dentistry?
I also stated the origins of my conclusion on the issue, and I don't recall 
mentioning an unscientific political body..
 AS> Your position is hard to support.
Hardly..  Shall we start stating cases where drug-use has been declared 
"legal" and the population takes a downturn?  I might have my time-frame a 
tad off, but I recall something about China in the early 1900's w/respect to 
opium..  The end results give plenty of support for my position..
