Is recreational drug use normal?

The purpose of this paper is to define drug use and differentiate this behaviour from drug abuse. We argue that one fundamental principle of the War on Drugs, namely that all use of illicit drugs is harmful and must be prohibited, is invalid. Statistically, clinically, and socio-culturally, drug use is normal behaviour. Current drug policy is based on the flawed premise that any use of illicit drugs is unhealthy. A public health model emphasizing demand reduction (as opposed to supply reduction), individual freedom, reason, and tolerance is recommended.
