Finally, it tends to reinforce the view implicit in so many elements of Victorian life that those in the better classes might engage in the same practices without them being considered vices unless and until they were carried to extreme excess."<br /Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483666308770842520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34093396.post-73685491842879642222014-08-01T00:53:41.134+10:002014-08-01T00:53:41.134+10:00Thank you for this article.

I find your article plausible, which means that perhaps today, in relative terms, our own marijuana "epidemic" may be proportionally worse.
