I never cease to be amazed by the number of people who will jump at any chance to put out the "pot is safe" message. My latest source of aggrivation is an article on SlashDot about a possible use for cannabis derivatives in fighting cancer.
Of course, the following debate brought out all the NORML freaks who want to spread FUD and disinformation about how dangerous this drug is.
Here's the link: http://science.slashdot.org/science/07/11/20/0442222.shtml
What really struck me was the number of people who labeled themselves as "geezers" who still indulged, and claimed no adverse affects. And then there's the nutjobs who claim the "war on drugs" is actually about driving up the price of drugs so that the CIA can sell more to finance their secret wars (no, really, I'm not kidding, read for yourself).
With this kind of dreck out there, is it any wonder that our kids find it hard to believe the truth about the dangers of this drug?
I'm just flabbergasted and speechless. Well, not exactly speechless (that would be the eigth wonder of the world, wouldn't it?)
:smile:
And yes, I did leave a couple of posts (bigger than a postcard, smaller than War and Peace) for two of the more aggregious posts. Lord help me, because I couldn't help myself. But I just couldn't stand by while several HUNDRED people were joking and yukking it up after twisting a serious and valid topic into another adolescent pothead/NORML free-for-all.
I just don't get it.
