The article is very sensational. As an aside, I think it is really interesting to think about what place drugs have within humanity. Many people will ask the question "why do you need to use such and such a drug?" And then they will use the fact that there is no actual benefit to the drug as fuel to keep it illegal.

The fact that many humans (myself included) enjoy drinking alcohol says something about the "importance" humans place on mind/body altering substances. Obviously there is something we value about these substances and so this needs to be taken into account when this argument is used.
