WE LIE TO OUR KIDS ABOUT MARIJUANA
I'm writing about Jackie Valley's story in The Sunday: "Modern
addiction: Our heroin epidemic."
The question that needs to be asked is: Why don't children and
adolescents believe those who warn them about the dangers of drugs
like heroin? The answer: Because when the drug war cheerleaders lie
about or grossly exaggerate the dangers of marijuana, they lose all
credibility.
When children find out that they have been lied to about marijuana,
they make the logical assumption that they are also being lied to
about the dangers of other drugs like heroin.
This has been a recipe for disaster.
