I read this on www.abovetheinfluence.com and was wondering if anyone else agreed that the information given out should be current? Well, the fucking fact about marijuana having four times the cancerous causing tar than cigarettes? This is from 1988..WTF? that's nearly twenty years ago. This is bullshit information. Recent information shows too much truth for these dicks, but they shouldn't conceal the truth. Think about this as well, when you're busted with weed, more than likely you're going to have to go to a treatment center because you have a 'drug problem.'
