It's not really 'wandering off', because the illegality of a harmless drug is the real problem.


Japanese can get shamelessly and dangerously drunk, but the thought of marijuana is social-blasphemy.

This is a great analogy. Telling someone what to read is just as ridiculous as telling them what they can/can't consume.
