Once again, the question was "Is Objectivism against drugs?" The ONLY person who can say what Objectivism is for or against is Rand. The question is answered. Hal how is taking shrooms, a mind altering drug, not faking or avoiding or denying reality? It puts you in a state where you cannot reason. What is with all of you resorting to "you agree with Rand so Rand is thinking for you"? I'll say it again because you people choose to ignore it. Rand is the creator of Objectivism so what she says about drug use is a pretty good answer to the question "Is Objectivism against drugs?"

A happy self-confident man does not want to try and escape, fake, avoid or deny reality PERIOD.

Liriodendron Tulipifera are you saying morality is not objective? Besides, I would think a quote that Inspector provided from a book written by Ayn Rand on her philosohy Objectivism stating that getting stoned is not the action of a happy self-confident man would answer the question "Is Objectivism against drugs?"

While the specific subject is addiction, she quite blatantly states no person who is content with him or herself would seek to escape into a fake reality by using drugs, addictive or not.
