My 10 year old recently went through the Dare program at school. It was impressed upon him that marijuana is as harmful as heroin. With that kind of biased information, I'd rather the school not present misconceptions and stay out of it.

I do my own research from now on.
I like that approach.

I had a lot of friends growing up that did, but I was never one to sit around doing hard core drugs. (I tried a few) I never understood pissing my hard earned money away, sitting around in an incoherent state when there were so many other ways to entertain yourself.

Because of the information presented via the school system,
I imagine my youngest would be as shocked as my older two sons (21 & 19) were when they found out last summer I occasionally partake of the weed. To me, its not as harmful as having a cocktail. A film vial of swag lasts me a year. It seemed their worst fear was my method of obtainment. What's funny is we know the same sources.

(for the record, that's NOT why I chose the name Maryjane...it's my name)


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
