Gene:

After reading the DRUG WAR FACTS book PDF file, I have to conclude that the most used "gateway drug" in America is CAFFEINE!

157 million adults drink coffee (w/ caffeine), and approximately 280 million people drink caffeine in their soda pop.

Take a look at the report, as it certainly is interesting. All the psychological aspects aside, the recitivism rate for nicotine is much higher than heroin.

Considering that all drugs that destroy are plentiful and available everywhere, and drugs that open the mind and free the soul have the harshest penalties of all, I believe that the propaganda objective is clear --- if it causes cancer, it's okay, BUT, if it causes a free thinking person to emerge, it must be stopped at all costs.

The drug that must be stopped at all costs is ASPARTAME!!!

It turns into FORMALDEHYDE when the body digests this toxic sludge, otherwise known as NUTRA-SWEET!

That's the one we have to stop!
