Games, drugs and rock'n'roll

The NYTimes publishes an article on games and drugs, based on the upcoming Narc. Funny that people make a fuss about drugs on videogames but nobody complains that most videogames allow players to use machine guns and even atomic weapons! (I personally have no a priori problem in games featuring guns, drugs or Kermit the Frog). There is a loooooong tradition of use of drugs in children literature (those power-up mushrooms were not invented by Miyamoto, think of Alice in Wonderland just for one example). So, Narc is a game about two narc cops? Well, that sounds interesting and I am looking forward to check it out.
