Anecdotal evidence exists on both sides of the board. For everyone who's cousin's neighbor's wife's brother got something slipped into his weed, there's an AIDS patient for whom marijuana allows him/her to eat without throwing up, and to see straight to relieve him from AIDS-related glaucoma. The stories may be chock full of human interest, but I want cold hard facts. What does marijuana do? What are its risks? THIS is what should be taught, not propaganda. THIS IS WHY I do not agree with DARE or (groan) Say No to Drugs Campaigns. These programs are about as useless (outside of anecdotal evidence) as those tired abstinence only programs taught in our schools. There are tons of drugs that I had never heard of before (and haven't heard of since) my drug educaton stint.
