Subject: drugs


In New Scientist recently there was an article about developing vaccines for the
addictive 

nature of drugs such as heroin and maybe even nicotine.  What this article got 
me thinking 

about however is the nature of drug use and how this could change with 
immortality.


If we ever reach the holy grail of cryonics and humanity becomes immortal what 
would be 

the drawbacks of taking drugs?  If smoking, alcohol and the hard drugs caused no
side 

effects then why not do them?  Current users would surely increase consumption.
Could 
immortality create a world of drug-fuelled morons?
