It's weed. Who cares? Do a campaign about prescription opiates or meth or something useful.

-looking for stories about how marijuana use has negatively impacted your life

"I-I just kept eating. Just kept going. A whole family sized bag of doritos. OH THE HORROR!!"

That's not even a weed thing, that's ultra processed food designed from day 1 to be as addictive as possible....

Which is totally cool and totally legal

Not like it's a plant humans have used for thousands of years or something

Doritos come from a plant? Far out, man.

Peaches come from a can.

I like marijuana and am in favor of legalizing it but lets not pretend its completely harmless. For example, tenagers should not be using it since it will interfere with their developing brains.

I do agree that this campaign by the DEA could focus on more destructive drugs, like alcohol for example. Not to mention the opiods...

Wow i sifted through a lot to get to someone with this opinion.

I smoke often but totally agree with you. The research is only just beginning now that the ability to study marijuana use is becoming more and more practical.

This seems perfectly reasonable. I'm sure the people wearing DARE shirts will take this seriously and help out.

Those bootlickers will believe anything, I bet you could convince them water was dangerous if you made them think the DEA said it.

Dihydrogen monoxide is a chemical so dangerous, it has both an acidic and an alkaline effect. It's completely destructive to the body. In large doses, it can kill a person in minutes. Smaller doses are claimed to be safe by the monoxide user community, but the truth is, it's a death sentence. Everyone who uses dies.

Women who use it while pregnant have babies that are already chemically dependant on it.
