FIND A NATURAL HIGH

What an outrage. Nolan Finley is suggesting that kids 21 celebrate by 
smoking an illegal substance rather than get totally blitzed with 
alcohol? Why do they have to choose between the two?

Couldn't they celebrate their birthday in other ways than drinking 
themselves into oblivion or smoking a bag of pot and getting so high 
they forget why they are even celebrating? Did you know that 
marijuana contains over 400 cancer-causing chemicals that can cause 
lung damage?

Did you know that marijuana negatively affects the skills required to 
drive safely: alertness, the ability to concentrate, coordination and 
the ability to react quickly?
