open attack

Why have we made so many harmless things ‘taboo’ in our society. I agree that their excessive use/abuse would make people suffer but that does not mean that we should not even come in contact with them. Take charas for instance. We’ve portrayed some harmless pleasure-providing herbs as such a huge evil that parents faint when they hear that their kids have been doing it.  I mean come on people, Question it! Investigate it! try it first and then ban it!
