Before I tried grass in college, which was 25 years ago for me, I bought into all the anti-drug education I'd gotten coming up through school in the 70s.

That was before the days of Nancy Reagan's Just Say No campaign, but I grew up in a university town, and so as early as the late 60s, when I was a little kid and when drugs were so popular in college hippie culture, we were getting drugs-are-dangerous education through our elementary schools.

You don't really have a way to believe anything else other than the drugs-are-bad message when that's what you're routinely taught as a kid.

So so so so true. The main reasoni made this thread was so my friend would read it and maybe change his mind on trying it No pressure, just showing facts :rasta:

Kids are very impressionable (is that a word?). I mean, kids believe in a fat man who gives you presents on a 2000 year old carpenter's birthday.

That's why drug education in elementary schools doesn't work. They don't give the kids real facts about the dangers, they tell them a fairy tale, which most kids start to question as they grew older.

I was in a DARE-like program, but started using cannabis when I was 13, or 9th grade. I wish I could still find those worksheets...

I never really bought into all of that...I was fascinated with the 60's and the counterculture as young as age 12, so I always was very curious about it.

You were more of a maverick kid than I was, then. I always believed what I was told in those days.

I'm still fairly gullible. But I'm smart enough now to investigate stuff before I totally buy into something.
