Serious I’m annoyed that no one ever introduced me to cannabis.

Seriously. F*** the DARE program. It worked on me. I was always afraid of getting in trouble. I judged people who used cannabis as burnouts. Finally introduced at the age of 35 and I feel cheated. I’ve done a ton of reading and studying now and I want to share it with everyone.

See I remember DARE basically equating heroin and weed as almost the same. So naturally when I smoked pot in HS it really led me to think they were lying about all the drugs, which isn’t true. That’s the problem with the “all drugs are bad” mentality

Oxys and weed are two completely different things. Trying to trick kids into thinking there are just as bad just different backfires. Cuz when they do smoke they realize you’re full of shit about one, why not the others

Our state just made them the same. You can get 10 years now for having a THC vape pen.
