Gonna score some dextromethorphan

Walter in Denver notes Why The Drug War Is Doomed To Fail
He points to a Rocky Mountain News article which pretty well indicates that people will always find a drug of choice, legal or illegal:

Colorado calls to the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center, and the type of drug involved, in the past two years

Drug	2002	2003
Marijuana	92	100
Heroin	14	24
Cocaine	109	137
Methamphetamine	71	82
Cough medicines/ dextromethorphan	229	275
Codeine	153	188
Painkillers/ oxycodone	602	809
Sleeping pills, tranquilizers/ benzodiazepines	1,012	1,212
Methadone	87	97
Morphine	150	208
Ethyl alcohol	270	248
Total calls	68,245	67,463

As Walter says: “Note that calls regarding cough medicine/dex each of the last two years outnumbered calls for marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined.”
