Whether they want to admit it or not they know that the harms associated w/ marijuana are less significant than those associated w/ pharmaceuticals, alcohol, or tobacco. How many high school or college students have to have their stomaches pumped, get into car accidents, or die from abusing alcohol each year? Yet there is this nonsensical cloud of bullshit reigning over our schools when it comes to providing accurate information about drugs for young people. <BR/><BR/>It is very sad that young people cannot do research on their own, speak their minds, and above all, TELL THE TRUTH, without being stereotyped by teachers afraid of sending the wrong message and students who have not taken the time to (a) do the research and (b) have been quite literally brainwashed with misinformation about marijuana.Jonathan Perrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455544314564822747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18542739.post-65063272048211451652007-06-21T21:18:00.000-05:002007-06-21T21:18:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jonathan Perrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455544314564822747noreply@blogger.com
