Marijuana is its own special category, but club drugs (which for some reason include date rape drugs), inhalants and steroids are all in a “miscellaneous” category together?

Also, note all the ridiculous drug propaganda lies.

    Weird how cigarettes and alcohol are not ‘gateway drugs.’

      That’s because from a health perspective, alcohol in particular is an “end state drug”. It’s what you die with. It ruins you. Not as fast as heroine, but just as thoroughly.

        So if I just occasionally have a beer with dinner does that mean I could also enjoy a bit of light recreational heroine for dessert?

      Don’t forget shampoo!

      My D.A.R.E. officer made sure we all knew that shampoo is a drug because it’s a chemical compound that physically affects our bodies. I definitely had fewer issues with drugs after learning that I was already a ‘drug user’.

        I had fewer issues with drugs after doing drugs, having a great time, feeling better the next morning than if I’d had 4 pints of beer.

        That’s actually a pretty good way to think about it though. Drugs are just chemical compounds and different compounds have different effects on the body.

        Are you sure that D.A.R.E officer was not secretly cool?

          D.A.R.E. has been proven to increase drug use, so I don’t think it was just him. The entire ‘scare tactic’ just doesn’t work.

      Yeah, I really wonder who writes these, and what their outlook on their job is. They have to know that the content has some pretty strong omissions or false inclusions there for political reasons.
