America's New Drugs - URB Magazine

===========================================================
The April 2005 issue of URB Magazine carried an article on the way in which criminal drug prohibition actual drives the creation of new synthetic drugs. The article includes Richard Glen Boire's comments comparing the harms of today's drug prohibition with the harms produced by alcohol prohibition, and ends with a deeper critique of
the war on ecstasy:
Boire, continues and proposes a plausible theory: "There's a fear of
Ecstasy, not [just] the drug [by that name], but the experience, the
idea that people can have this autonomous joy that is not limited by
church protocols or socially-constructed modes. It's okay to be happy
when your team scores a touchdown in the Super Bowl, but it's
[considered] odd for people to be ecstatically dancing in fields."
