you can't flip those statements, it is purely mathematical. it won't work for any analogy, about drugs or flowers.
so that analogy doesn't work. i see where you were trying to go, but you can't use that logic in a mathematical sense.

Okay, I need to proceed cautiously because I am not sure whether you were saying I was wrong, or the analogy was, lol.
I said that this was the logic the propaganda follows, but it is misleading.
As for D.A.R.E., I don't think it ENCOURAGES kids to do drugs, but I think it makes them a little bit more curious about it. The biggest influence in a kid's life at that time is the PARENT, so if you really want children to be well-informed about drugs, it starts at home.
Some have said that marijuana leads to infertility but as of yet, there has been no substantial scientific evidence to back that up.
The U.S. Government itself has conducted experiments with our military within the 50 years or so, testing the effects of marijuana on soldiers. The British have also done similar experiments with their military and both concluded that the after effects are minimal (aside from the obvious side effects of ingesting smoke). It also depends on the amount of carcinogens (found in tobacco) present in any particular batch of marijuana as to how much it damages the lungs. Other than that, the high you experience while smoking marijuana is about the only drawback (if you see it that way).
