On the new(ish) [drugs] tag
Not all non-medical drugs are illegal. For example, alcohol is generally legal, and is popular enough to get its own tag. Tobacco is similarly legal (though without the tag), and marijuana is legal ...

Do we need both tags "event travel" and "events"?
I agree they should be merged.
