YKWGMG? When organizations like the FDA and DEA lump dangerous drugs like Opiates, Methaphetamines, and Stimulants into the same category as Serotonin and Dopamine enhancers, so when kids experiment with Marijuana and Mushrooms and don't experience any adverse effects, they think that things like Opium, PCP, Speed, and Heroin aren't going to hurt them either. Then they die from overdoses. It's also pretty messed up that three of the six most addictive and dangerous drugs out there (Nicotine, Alcohol, and Caffeine; the other three are Heroin, Meth, and Crack/Cocaine) are legal and fairly inexpensive. So kids grow up thinking that Cannabis--a plant used medicinally in controlled quantities to treat a plethora of diseases and which produces large amounts of tetrahydracannabinol, a dietary complement to naturally produced endocannabinol, with the effect of dopamine production regulation (I'll leave it up to you to look up any of those terms you might be unfamiliar with)--is dangerous and will lead them into an unhealthy and unproductive lifestyle, and that Nicotine and Alcohol--deadly, highly addictive poisons which the body naturally attempts to reject--are okay as long as you don't do it around kids and you're above a certain arbitrary age limit. Talk about a backwards society. :/
Whether you're a strait-edge or a wild raver kid who's willing to try anything, do yourself and the rest of the world a favour and read some legitimate medical material and properly educate yourself before you make a decision to take, condone, or condemn ANY drug. Legal, illegal, recreational, prescription, over-the-counter...ANY mind- or health-altering substance can have adverse effects if not taken intelligently and you should always be aware of every benefit and every detriment that anything you take or refuse to take represents. Stay safe and stay savvy folks.
