MARIJUANA
IS NOT A DRUG

DELTA 9 TETRA HYDROCANNABINOL (THC)
IS A DRUG

YOU SMOKE MARIJUANA BECAUSE IT HAS THC IN IT. WHEN YOU SMOKE MARIJUANA, YOU ARE USING A DRUG.

the real question is, why are you conditioned to think that the term "drug" is bad? you weren't born that way, in fact you weren't born with any opinions or biases. those things came upon you as a little kid, and in this situation, D.A.R.E. probably got to you.
