OK so it goes like this...
    #4435971 - 07/21/05 10:38 PM (18 years, 8 months ago)

My friends mother is really on his ass about smoking marijuana. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but his parents are paying 1/2 of his car insurance, which I believe is around $1500..ridiculous I know but it is NJ.

The problem is that his parents really have no idea about marijuana. They never smoked when in HS, and buy in to government propaganda. They are concidering looking at information about marijuana and I want to provide them with solid information.

So my question to you all is if you know any informational websites that can disprove these crazy myths about the plant. My buddy tried talking about it, but it really is THAT much harder to get them to see your side of the story when they have never smoked before. They think that getting high is much more extreme than it is, like you would get high and go rob a bank, just because you're high.

A website that would help greatly is one that shows the extremely small percentage of bud that actually is laced. I know it's an extremely low number (2% maybe?) but I could not find any websites on this. I'm not asking you guys to do work for me, and I wouldn't ask you, but if you know any websites off the top of your head relating to all of this it would be most appreciative.

Sorry for such a long thread, sometimes I get carried away about things that need minimal explanation  :stoned:

You could check out:

NORML

Erowid

Lycaeum

Other than that you can always do some research over at:

Google

I would suggest the book Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts By Lynn Zimmer, Ph.D and John P Morgan, M.D. But don't expect much. Once people reach an older age and are indoctrinated since youth they are pretty much a lost cause. There's no way to convert them no matter how much hard evidence is right in front of their face.

Very good observation. The money I am living off of now was gathered on a string of multiple bank robberies all under the influence of good old mary. :wink: :smirk:

By the way just tell your friend to keep his toking on the down low, untill he pays his own insurance and rent. Thats the best thing in my opinion if the rents are that hardcore.

Your not alone. My mom is especially like that, she will humor me and read the book or whatever and then agree temporarily when put on the spot in a debate. Then the next week shes back to her hardcore drugs are bad mmmkay ideology. But I have to admit that they have brought me to some bad spots in my life so that may be where she gets the ideas from.

Thanks for your help, guys. Yeah, I knew the basics NORML and Erowid, but I found at least one website that seperates a lot of dumb myths and actual facts. I think it should be mandatory that everybody on this website go to Erowid, even if its for only 15 minutes. It would especially help people who need to know "how much of [insert drug] I need to take" and, in general, it would clear up a lot of simple questions and it would make them a lot more drug educated.  :thumbup:
(Provided of course that you have not already been there, which I'm sure 95% of you have)
