who or what influences a persons attitudes to drugs such as cannabis??

The media and beliefs passed on from friends, relatives, social norms, religious beliefs, and racism. You should research the history of cannabis in the U.S. and the intense scapegoating of latinos and asians during the beginning of the twentieth century. It all ties in so much with propaganda and media.

Lets get the Ecstacy out of the way first, it ain't a low class drug although it is catagorizied as such, ecstacy is mised with some letal ingerdients and unless it's legal form is going to come with an ingerdients list, it cannot be safe. Cannabis is another story, if alcohol (which kills hundreds of thousands of people a year) is legal then I see no reason why Cannabis is not. we've all bene out on a Saturday and seen the distasteful and basically disgraceful behaviour of people who have had too much to drink. When has anybody who's had a few joints to many gone out and cause harm or disturbances anywhere.... they don't. Cannabis is the most peaceful drug of all, and it's side affects aren't even as harsh as some anitbiotics you are prescribed. it absolutely befuddles me as to how it is still illegal and how people are actually in jail for smoking it, not even dealing!!! I say Free the Weed and make alcohol illegal... then lets see the road deaths down to nothing while Cannabis users (and can finally enjoy a peaceful and relaxing night on the tiles without worrying about being beaten up by some drunk who doesn't even know his own name!!!

Attention !

This is a " no brainer"

No one must ever take a short cut to pleasure or fun.

Drugs, alcohol and ALL other substances are very bad news.

Good feelings must only come from healthy activities and satisfying relationships with others.

People have the capacity for enjoyment naturally, that far surpasses illegal drugs and alcohol.

Keep a healthy body with good food and exercise.

Learn to read the classics, enjoy music and keep good friends and be a friend to others.

The decision to use cannabis or any other drug is a no brainer. You don't even have to think about it, the answer is no.

Never listen to others that tell you otherwise.

p.s. in our life there are many strong influences that are bad, reject them all and you will feel that you are in controll.

The people they hang around with usally put pressure on them to use drugs.If there parents are druggies usally the children will grow up taking drugs to as its programmed into them from a early age.

some people use drugs for an escape from their normal boring lives, but unfortunatly they can become addicted and then start becoming ill. drugs are good in moderation, and not all the time.

When you find out the truth like i did, when you become a TRUE individual and research yourself, instead of getting force fed ure info like a baby. I was blind and anti everything i am now because of the ignorancy and propaganda.
