And the really stupid thing about all this is if they focused the exact same campaign on cocaine or heroin it would actually be fairly accurate. But by focusing on pot all it does is make them look like complete morons.

More of our tax dollars down the toilet. FLUSH!

Used in Past Month
Cocaine...1.2 million
Crack...265 thousand
Heroin...130 thousand

The number of hard drug users in this country is too small to allow for a profitable Drug War. If we devoted our resources to these hard drugs, the war might be won...and we can't have that can we.

Worse than morons, it shows them as liars. When kids hear about the horrors of MJ and see that it is BS, they assume that the similar stories about Heroin and cocaine are also lies. We thus encourge hard drug use by lying about MJ.

Just the same well meaning mistake occured in Genesis, when Adam embellished the warning about the tree of life. By telling Eve not to touch it, he gave the serpent the opening to show that touching it had no effect, so Eve went all the way and ate. Right on point!
