drug education is completely twisted in schools for the most part.
firstly, how can we accept advice from the mouths of people who have never done it and know nothing except what they have been told?
How can anyone tell us what we can or can not put into our mouths?
How can anyone not see the hypocrisy of the fact that alchohol, tobacco, caffeine, and medicines are all drugs too? and often they are more dangerous than the illegal (ie untaxed) drugs that we can purchase readily.
abstinence will never work.
humans are programmed to enjoy dopamine, endorphine, seratonin, and oxytocin because they are all produced in the brain naturally, and are not sinful or wrong to enjoy.
therefore there are no "gateway" drugs, only feelings we naturally desire more of.
drug education should be about harm reduction and balanced, well-researched scientific facts.
if the money wasted on the war on drugs was used on research and education, then we would have significantly less problems.
most drug deaths or drug related problems are down to lack of information, education, availability, reliability, support and acceptance.
Not to mention the amount of people who are arrested, killed, or harmed as a result of the inevitable underground criminality of the drugs world due to idiotic legislation.
i learnt more through bluelight in a month than in 25 years of government sponsored "information".
long live BL!
