Drugs are bad....mmmmkay?

[Nochowderforyou]

The people who told me that drugs were bad were my junor high teachers. They wouldn't preach it or nothing, but if it came up in class, we were kicked out in the hall for speaking "bad" things.

My parents never once told me that MJ was dangerous. The first time I got busted smoking it, I was on my front step, coughing my ass off. My dad got up, came out and said, "what are you tokin up?"..."ya I am, you busted me"..."well keep it down, I can hear you coughing from the backyard" The morning after he found me passed out on the couch, my pipe laying on the table. He told me, "If you smoke pot, I don't care. I can't give you shit for something I do, but if you smoke crack, I'll kick your fucking ass"...that was all. Pot has always been accepted in our family. I told my grade 9 principal he was dickhead because my buddy was joking around that I stole a scale from the lab. My principal says, "what, to weigh your drugs on?" I said ya dickhead, so what? Ah...to be young again.

And when security police force want to arrive
Don't try to run, don't try to hide

when I was in fith grade I had DARE and shit. I didn't agree with any of that stuff, 'cause I allways had my sister to set me strait. I never even wrote my final essay thing, I had my mom write it. I always liked DARE though, cause I got a free t-shirt and discount ID that I was only spose to use for a year, I scraped off the experation date, and used it for three years. lol good times

I got a free T-shirt too, but I never wore it, because really who wants to walk around advertising DARE all day?

[sir smokes alot]

we had some cop in fith grade come for dare and he was sayin if you smoke pot it will get you high then the next time you will need twice as much and then blah blah blah and then you will need it to feel normal and all kinds of b/s and he said your tolerence will always remain the same and you will forget everything and just the usual crap

I remember being told that smoking pot kills brain cells permanently. I wanted to know if something could be killed temporarily....I didn't draw a laugh at all. Just stern looks and a warning to keep my mouth shut.

I also remember being told that if you drop acid, something that was VERY common in the 70's, it would never leave your body, and you'd have flashback trips for the rest of your life. Hell, that made all the kids want to try it even more!!!

Know what's sad? I think that most police and anti-drug propagandists truly believe all the nonsense they tell kids. They have convinced themselves that smoking pot is against Christianity, against all morals, against all decent human behavior. So they are easy to convince that all those ridiculous stories about going insane the first time you try it, etc, are true. And then the stories just keeping spreading to the next generation of kids who realize they are being lied to, so they tune out their parents, teachers, etc.

You're right, in fact they are so convinced that pot is evil that they immediately discount any arguments to the contrary since they already "know" them to be false before even looking into the matter.

I was told that if you smoke pot you will loose interest in everything you like.

I was told that if you smoke pot you will loose interest in everything you like.

I remember being told by a teacher that if you smoke pot, you'd lose your ability to stay focused on things. I just ignored him....
