According to the U.S. De-partment
of Health and
Services, 54 percent of the
population has admitted
to using marijuana by age
25. But you probably already knew that.
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to realize that
the scare tactics used on the D.A.R.E. generation
went completely ignored. Just Google “WebMD
marijuana” and the first 15 links will expose myths
about pot being a health risk.
“I can barely remember D.A.R.E.,” senior Kevin
Small said. “But it’s taught too early, I didn’t see weed un-til
high school and when I did, it wasn’t sketchy back-alley
drug addicts, just my boys.”
Today, 14 states have approved the use of medical
marijuana and 14 more have marijuana legislation pend-ing.
That doesn’t even include Massachusetts, which
effectively decriminalized pot for recreational use in
2009, or Canada, which became the first country to
legalize medical marijuana in 2003.
