>> if you screw this extremely delicate self-administered chemical mind alteration up, the rest of us have to foot the bill for the resulting care / homelessnes / crime.

What are you on about? Have you actually tried any of the substances mentioned in the parent comment?

I have personally seen people become dependent on nitrous oxide. Take it away from them and they have no problem stopping, though.

Money + no responsibilities + nitrous shipped to your door is a very very very very bad combo for some people.

I've personally used all of those substances without having mental breakdowns and know many people that have as well. But I do know people that have went down dark paths with nitrous. More intense than the worst alcoholism, imo.
