When I was in high school, back in the dark ages, (1970s), a popular rumor was that one could dry out a banana peel and smoke it to achieve a marijuana-like high. I tried to dry one out on a windowsill and told my mom it was for biology class, lol, but it just got black and gross, and I threw it away before my friends and I could try to smoke it. I figured I was just doin' something wrong.
I also heard the one about trying heroin just once and becoming addicted instantly.
Marijuana would make you go crazy if you were lucky, and kill you if you weren't.
By and large, we were terrified, (as well as horribly naive), about drugs. I hope kids nowadays are given more accurate information than we were, but I'm not hopeful. The first time anyone smoked pot around me, when I was 14, I ran into another room, so scared was I that I might get some of the smoke into my system and go insane or die!
LOL, what can I say, it was a different time than the one we live in now.
