Yes, it is an odd sentiment isn't it? De Quincey-esque, even. It asks whether we are going back to a Victorian age when England fought China in two wars for the heroin trade via Hong Kong, or whether we are trying to stop Afghanistan running its exchequer based on the poppy-seed? Are we for or against heroin? And all of this because I cound't find Frank's neologism!

I would translate that as "demonized" -- but I must say, the sentiment that 'heroin is no longer demonized' is tendentious to put it mildly.

Hi Pete,<br />
<br />
It's a neologism that literally means "diabolized", i.e. "depicted as a diabolic thingy".
