Are we winning?
Every TV show these days has 5 minutes of story punctuated by 6 minutes of ads by Big Pharma.
Hungry? Eat too much? Eat this pill!
Worried? Anxious? Worried that you may be too anxious? Take a pill!
Shy? Want to be popular? Swallow this magic potion.
Even Viagra and every one of its competitors is not even bothering to be circumspect in their ads. Take this and your wife/girlfriend/secretary will get a huge grin on her face and totally forget that Viagra still does nothing for her sex drive that your pot belly and continuous snoring hasn't already killed. If Viagra isn't a "recreational" drug, what is?
So my question is this: Can we ever be sucessful in our "war against drugs" when our very society is looking to solve their every problem with a magic pill?
