Teaching

[LightGreen]

I was sitting in heath class today and was listeining to my teacher talk about drugs and the heath effects. The information she is teaching is often wrong and outdated also almost every student in the class knew more about the drugs and their effects. Our schools are teaching us bias information on the "negative" effects of marijuana and i think its rediculous what they are telling kids in schools all over the nation.

And, for added effect, write down Erowid's Mission Statement. It's really profound. Let me post it up in here...

[B][align=center]Our Mission
Erowid is a member-supported organization providing access to reliable, non-judgmental information about psychoactive plants and chemicals and related issues. We work with academic, medical, and experiential experts to develop and publish new resources, as well as to improve and increase access to already existing resources. We also strive to ensure that these resources are maintained and preserved as a historical record for the future.
Our Vision
We imagine a world where people treat psychoactives with respect and awareness; where people work together to collect and share knowledge in ways that strengthen their understanding of themselves and provide insight into the complex choices faced by individuals and societies alike. We believe that truth, accuracy, and integrity in publishing information about psychoactives will lead to healthier and more balanced choices, behaviors, and policies around all psychoactive medications, entheogens, herbs, and recreational drugs. Erowid's vision is to facilitate and create resources that are part of the evolution towards this goal.

dude, that would be sooooooo badass if you could pull it off. the only problems would be that the teach would probly erase it right when he/she saw it and i bet half the kids wouldn't even go to the site cause "drugs are bad" and they believe every last bit of teh anti-drug propaganda everyone tells them. for instance, a cop came to my school and told everyone about meth and that "you are addicted once you take the first hit" now ive never done meth and probly won't ever do it, but i was curious and found out that it actually takes a long time to get addicted to it. trust me. i talked to a doctor in the local drug rehab hospital and he says you CANNOT get addicted on the first hit, or even the first 3 bowls! im so sick of all this anti-drug propaganda, it makes me wanna shoot myself!

Seriously, Erowid's Mission Statement and Vision are very intruiging, at least enough to get some of the stronger-willed people to check Erowid out.

Sure, but if they actually were pro-ganja they'd probly forget the site by the time they go to the comp :rasta:

lol If they're pro-ganja, then they either already know about Erowid or don't need it.

[jonny]

EVERYONE needs it.

You can't learn enough about the drugs you take.

Unless theyre only smoking pot.
But I'm amazed how little everyone else around here except my friends, and including the "die hard" stoners actually know, they really know fuck all generally and can be VERY misinformed.

Hmm...

Well, we need to be spreading the word about Erowid. Personally, I've given it to 4 people today who seemed very intruigued by the end of my little drug speech
