That’s the ticket. Get ‘em used to taking drugs for every problem right off the bat.
Wait til the zero-tolerance goons find this stuff in a kid’s school bag, lol.
That was my thought exactly. Why get them started believing that there is a Pill for every Ill? This is the same mentality that sends swarms of Grief Counselors to school when a classmate is killed, teaching kids that (1) the government will always be there to make it all better; and (2) the way to make it all better is to scream, cry, and wallow.
This is my concern as well. That said, if the placebo is used judiciously (and very occasionally), it would be okay, I think.
It can’t be handed out like candy any more than handing out a real drug.
