Accompanying the television image of a couple of eggs sizzling in a
frying pan, the phrase, “This is your brain on drugs” has always carried

There was an infamous chess player named Alexander Alekhine who
held the world championship longer than anybody else. His games often
had superb surprise endings, known in chess circles as “brilliancies.” For
instance, he would checkmate with a pawn move that no sane and sober
mind could ever imagine. However, he was a notorious alcoholic, and
McCaffrey is only referring to illegal drugs.

“Just when I thought I’ d heard it all from McCaffrey,” was the
reaction of Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the NORML (National
Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) Foundation. “Drug
testing for chess players? What’ s next from this overreaching drug czar?
Drug testing for tiddlywinks players? How about bingo players?”
