That image stretches the truth a little, methinks. From what I understand there's conflicting research about the effects of long term usage.

I'm for decriminalising or legalising all drugs. In my opinion it's foolish to think the war on drugs can be won or even come close to achieving its aim (i.e., significantly reduce drug use) without changing the world into a police state. Almost everybody already knows someone who either deals, buys or knows where to get drugs. While I don't think decriminalising or legalisation are magic bullets, I think they're a better solution to look at than sending people to jail for an often (but not always) harmless crime.

ETA: Also, instead of saying drugs are bad and showing pictures of amputees, car accidents, etc, the drug education at schools should actually ... educate. Explain what each drug does and really go into the details instead of using bullshit scare tactics. And I'm not saying don't go into the bad side of stuff, just that the education should be more inclusive rather than just "drug X is bad for you."

What we really need to do to solve the drug problem is understanding that not every drug user is an addict. Addicts don't need prison, they need proper treatment. Then we need to provide children (from a young age) many opportunities for personal satisfaction (through sports, education and social interaction). The "Drug War" had failed. We need to move on.

thats fair Nap. The poster is a heavily biased, but the point of the message is still true don't you think? Alcohol is a killer on a scale that marijuana doesn't even come close to.

I think that should be the real point even if the creator was stretching the truth quite a bit. (To be honest, I didn't read the pic that closely when I posted it.)

Stretching the truth or outright lying?

To say it repairs brain cells and cures cancer is fucking insane.

I wouldn't have so much of a problem if the first words on that poster weren't "Let's look at the facts".
