It couldn't possibly be argued against on a harm reduction basis and the other point is that they don't have anywhere near the amount of empirical data on the harms of any other substance that they do on alcohol <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

My point was that all these macro beers with chemicals and that they don't inform of what chemicals are there. So if there's an argument against the headshop products that there's chemicals in them then it follows that macro beers have numerous chemicals that people are not aware they're consuming.

That mega list in the Porterhouse of all them chemicals sound just as scary as what's in these "bath salts"

Another side effect I see from that bill is the possibility that we will have to get ingredients printed on cigarettes and also on alcohol.
