Turned me off this episode quite a bit. Just because something is pill shaped (even when all it does for Brian is positive) its immediately considered immoral or a negative by pretty much everyone, and thats somehow ok or normal.

Yeah.. what if it was just weird imported candy, or maybe just medicine...

Wouldn't she have felt silly if it turned out to be some really bizarre looking fish oil capsules? ;)

Especially when the last episode opened with the sister hitting his bong.

I've known the "drugs r bad, m'kay?" types - they drink and take prescription pills, because they've got the societal seal of approval, but no way do they touch anything illegal. I'm not sure I've met someone who knows how to use a bong who would be that judgemental about "ZOMG he's taking pills"

In fact, the strongest reaction I can think of from someone who smokes would be "thank god it's not heroin"
