Hello anti-drug dudes:
Marijuana has never killed anyone. That's NEVER with a capital N. Everybody who smokes pot knows that. First question: Do you know that?
There's an ad put out by the Partnership for a Drug Free America. Personally, I support a drug free America, but I think the present efforts are having the opposite effect.
As an example, the ad says that there is more cancer causing tar in one joint than in a whole carton of cigarettes. That's nice and scary - but just not true. You don't get cancer from pot. If it was true, don't you think we (as a Nation) would KNOW it? We certainly KNOW that cigaretts kill people. Do you believe it? If it's true, please direct me to the scientific study that declares it to be so.
Do you think that it is the right tactic to take? Do you think pot smokers believe it? Don't you think, that if our goal was, indeed, a drug free America, that telling the truth about drugs would be a better tactic?
What is the truth about drugs? That we let Afghanistan grow poppies because it suits our political needs? That people who use crack cocaine need to be in jail a lot longer than people who use powdered cocaine? That if you get caught smoking pot, you'll never get a student loan?
I don't think those messages help us to achieve our goal. Do you?
