Marijuana Unit in Health Class

[420HighLife]

My friend is still in high school, and as he is not able to register on these fine forums, he asked me to post this for him...what follows is his quoted text.

I have a unit on marijuana and other 'psychoactive' drugs coming up next week in my high school health class. My teacher is a just-out-of-college jock, who has been completely brainwashed by the system of ignorance that our government has pursued.

What questions could I ask during class, that will make him uncomfortable and will show the real lack of dangers in using marijuana? I already plan to bring up medical marijuana and stress relief, etc. If anyone has any ideas for topics, please feel free to post and discuss them.

Peace, Love, and Ganja,

:thumbsup:

Ask him something about why, since marijuana has been proven to be one of the least toxic drugs (and a natural one at that), is it still in the same drug classification as those which are dangerous and lethal. Then ask him why alcohol which is responsible for thousands of deaths a year is legal, but not marijuana. I am guessing he won't be able to give you a good answer to these questions, especially the last one, so after you listen to his bullshit about it being harmful for developing minds ask him what he thinks the best way to get drugs out of the hands of criminals is. He will be stumped. Thats because the only logical answer is to legalize them.

Ask him if anyone has ever died from over dosing on weed.:thumbsup:

Good on ya, keep em up haha

To overdose I hear you have to smoke 3x your body weight in 15 minutes?

Is print up the link below (all 50 pages or so of it) and plop it down in front of him! And ask him why a medicine like this is illegal! It kills none. It has mild (and pleasant) side effects. It is nonaddictive. It treats many ailments. It is easily "manufactured". And home-grown is dang cheap ( I know several people who have cut their (very expensive) medications in HALF by using cannabis). Big pharma HATES cannabis! It will cut DEEPLY into their profits!

With an aging population, cannabis will be in demand more and more- there is a reason that most polls on MMJ give a 65 to 85% approval rate. And as the price of "big Pharma" meds rises (above the inflation rate), all us "old hippies" will be preaching about the wonders of MMJ! Cancer, Alzheimer's, atherosclerosis, MS, fibro, arthritis, stroke, diabetes, even Mad Cow disease- cannabis is good for them all!

CANNABIS RULES!!!

I commend your friend on this mission :jointsmile:! He could ask about why so many successful and smart individuals have chosen to smoke weed.

My friend thanks you for the commendation!

please tell your friend not to be an asshole about this though... speaking up for a legitimate cause is great - being a doosh for attention isn't.

i think you buddy would be better off not making a scene in health class and talking to his classmates privately about the benefits of marijuana if he's planning to do it off the cuff, rather than putting on a show to piss off his undoubtedly underqualified and shitty health teacher. my public school health classes were taught by gym teachers who seemed to wander into our study hall classroom instead of the break room by accident.

my two cents steady blazing
