I got back a slew of various comments and such saying that basically that I had no right posting such a thing, as well as some "hee hee hee" posts saying that the site was making them more likely to smoke than not.

Now, I feel quite strongly about the fact that marijuana usage can lead straight into usage of more hard-core drugs, which can have an even more destructive effect on peoples' lives. There are all manner of arguments about the relative seriousness of marijuana (something I'm not totally going to get into here, in a marijuana forum) but I felt that between my blog post, and the site's page itself on marijuana, that this point is made pretty clear -- but I get all manner of different opinions on this.

So, rather than just engage in a flamewar, I'm actually interested in what you think about this -- after reading a site such as this on joints, what that would make one think if one was a youth not yet involved in drugs.

If it's aimed at younger children, maybe it's not too bad. Drugfreeworld seems like it's less propaganda than the other sites preaching drug free-ness. I find it interesting that there is no info booklet for cannabis, just joints. I wish I could have read the whole thing. It seemed to keep it toned down without wild accusations about it.
(I'm talking about the booklets, NOT the real life accounts).

If it helps some kids, well alright then.
