Th truth about marijuana

I found this as a great example of the disinformation that the goverment uses against marijuana. It really bothers me because I think that it is really important that our parents understand what marijuana use is all about. but this fucking article really twist the information around so that the reader thinks that the cause for teenage agnst and mischieve(sp?) is caused by marijuana.


" Longitudinal research on marijuana use among young people below college age indicates those who used have lower achievement than the non-users, more acceptance of deviant behavior, more delinquent behavior and aggression, greater rebelliousness, poorer relationships with parents, and more associations with delinquent and drug-using friends"

even flow?

Same could be said about ciggie smokers and drinkers. Oh but those are legal.

there is nothing causative about that statement. It is a descriptive statement and if they have the research to support it, it's a true statement (with the information available, in the studies that were performed.) Teen angst and mischievousness are nothing new and won't go away and marijuana isn't to blame, it's part of it.

see what really bugs me about this paragraph is that I think in most cases its the poor relationship with parents that causes kids to be rebelious and thus get into trouble.

really, i think peer pressure is a bigger influence than relationship with parents. i also think that self-confidence or view of one's self makes people more rebellious and thus getting into more trouble.

sweet my first chance at a song break..

Let us burn one, from end to end.
And pass is over to me my friend.
Burn it long, but burn it slow,
to light me up before I go.

If you dont like my fire, then dont come around.
Cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes I'm gonna burn one down

My choice is what i chose to do;
and if I'm causin no harm,
it shouldn't bother you.
Your choice is who you chose to be;
and if your causin to harm, then your alright with me.

If you dont like my fire, then dont come around, cause I'm gona burn one down.
Yes i'm gonna burn one, down.

Herb the gift, from the Earth,
and what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before u knock it, try it first.
and you'll see it's a blessing and it's not a curse.
If you dont like my fire, then dont come around,
cause i'm gonna burn one down.
Yes i'm gonna burn one.

oh yeah

"lower achievement than the non-users, more acceptance of deviant behavior, more delinquent behavior and aggression, greater rebelliousness, poorer relationships with parents, and more associations with delinquent and drug-using friends"

All of which could be the cause of marijuana smoking in college students, rather than the effects of doing it.

Mommy didn't love me and daddy beat me for liking ballet. <- That could be a cause too.

i'm sure he/she was so angry that they wanted to make this thread quickly, to share their annoyance with us. So, it was just a typo oh, but now thinking about it..... in his/her article it said that stoners are more prone to anger

Am I in a time warp? Are there really parents out there who need to be educated about marijuana?

Really?

Austicman

Marajoowana is bad MMMkay!!! If you do marajoowana then your bad...........MMMMMKayy!!

LOL I luv it when teenagers and young people try to educate us older ones.

Let me ask you this dear, do you honestly think that you know something about marijuana that your parents havent already experienced?

Could it be that adults say to stay away from drugs because they have actually seen the results?

Hmmm...I've yet to see a child have more life experience than their parents. I think it would be a monumental moment in the course of history!

Marijuana is kind of innocuous, say, compared to alcohol.

You are correct. However, doing drugs is not going to solve that problem. It only exaserbates them.

You might be shocked to hear this...but there are many parents out there who ALSO teach their kids to stay away from alcohol. Novel concept eh?
