It seems pretty obvious (to me anyway) that narcotics and climbing simply don't mix. Climbing is hard enough without handicapping yourself. I climbed some fairly easy, short routes at the North Jawbones in the Cathedrals once while mildly "bent" and while it never felt particularly dangerous, I noticed my strength, agility and decision making were somewhat lacking. Needless to say, never again.
As for legalising it, it'd only give the gov't one more thing to squeeze taxes out of, under the guise of trying to protect us from ourselves... |
