Agreed. Sherlock's drug history is one of those intriguing loose threads the show's canon has left us to play with.

Oh ouch, but that would explain some of the animosity Sally feels for Sherlock.

Imagine if John continued publishing cases after The Fall, and more and more people started questioning Sherlock's 'crimes', and police's status dropped in society's eyes? [Were I a clever criminal, I'd use it so:] Sherlock's name is cleared, people are indignant, those who have been leaning to illegal actions but were held back by fear of justice - suddenly decide it's not that scary... And then - the Dark Side wins in two moves. Ah, I'd wish there was a fic about how Sally Donovan came to John Watson to employ him to write things that would make PR better... could you write it? pretty please?:)
And thank you very much for your Ghost. It 'rang true every time' ((c) ACD). Good luck!

Oh jeepers. Yeah, that's a good reason not to remember what really happened, but it's definitely more than bit not good!
