i've heard on our local "fake news" channel that texting and driving is more dangerous and causes more car accidents than alcohol & drugs.
but that doesn't mean i condone alcohol nor drugs as a way to escape the real world.
what we're talking about are plant derived chemical substances (and a world full of synthetics), including sugar, caffeine, nicotene, opium, the one derived from s america, oh, cocaine, how could i forget. and of course chocolate, alcohol & mary jane derivatives.
it's not a simple issue, what with us humans being humans. how do the Ruskies deal with vodka? and on and on.
if we only had in our possession a higher quality level of human beings, our problems would be less than they currently are.
