D.A.R.E. lies
The site is full of lies about marijuana. The following is something I lifted from an article I found on the D.A.R.E. website:
A question that was not asked by this radio talk show host but usually makes its way into the agenda is one that brings in the question of tobacco vs. marijuana, i.e., ??Tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of individuals every year but nobody??s ever died of smoking pot. But pot is illegal. Doesn??t this seem a bit hypocritical??
Answer: Marijuana is a leading cause of drug-related emergency room episodes and emergency psychiatric episodes. Smoking a few cigarettes, or even a package of cigarettes, has never necessitated emergency room medical or psychiatric attention. Long-term tobacco use leads to the deterioration of the lungs, heart, circulation, etc. There are no recorded deaths from smoking tobacco short term. It is known that marijuana undermines the immune system so it is likely that in another 20 years, if use continues to escalate, the death toll from side effects of long-term marijuana use will equal those of longer-term tobacco use. Additionally, because marijuana is hallucinogenic, smokers often indulge in risky or irresponsible behavior that results in tragic or lethal consequences.
The original article is here
Personally, I don't care how many synthetic versions of marijuana they make, I'd still take something natural over something not.
This is what kids are learning in school.
