Actually, its the chemical in the plant that is the controlled substance and not the plant itself, right?
/ABE
It reminds me of that scene from the movie Blow, where Johnny Depp's character is in court talking to the judge and he's all:
Come on... 'I crossed an imaginary line with a bunch of plants' pfft big deal.
Then the judge goes:
'Unfortunately for you, that line was real, and those plants were illegal. I sentence you to...'
That's from memory so the quotes might be off a bit.

Anyways, were supposed to be talking about sexuality, not illegal drugs.
Is there a gradient of grey sexualities or is it black and white. My previous posts in this thread were fairly tounge-in-cheek.
I do suppose there's a gradient although the research in the OP does seem to suggest otherwise for men.
I honestly just don't know.

...and nonsensically (in the UK) tobacco is an illegal plant but a legal drug.
As an aside:
Whenever there's someone declaiming that all drugs should be illegal, I say "Yes! Including alcohol and cigarettes and painkillers and antidepressants!".
Then I watch them walk around in circles trying to differentiate between them.

ALL drugs should be illegal*

Nope all drugs should be legal controled and taxed, this would bancrupt gangs and mafia organizations.

I'm an American. There is nothing outside of our country that is worth discussing.
