YASTSMINAGD:
Yet Another Study That Shows MaryJ is NOT a Gateway Drug: but this one, by the University of Pittsburgh, had a duration of 12 years.
The Pitt prof studied 214 drug-taking boys aged 10-12 for a dozen years and determined that lack of parental guidance, bad friends, and shitty neighborhoods led to drug dependency, not green buds. In fact just as many of those studied who did end up with a drug dependency started by drinking alcohol first, or smoking cigarettes.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, and again, and again. Family values - a term I don't particularly like as I don't think it is
hip and with the times and sounds a little too old-skool to be cool - is where it is at when it comes to defining the social landscape of a culture. Look a few posts below at my single parent's statistics. Look at how many children grow up without a father or mother. Look how hard it is, financially, for those families.
Until a parent can admit their own responsibility to their child and stop blaming all their problems on the schools, the
system, and the state's inability to pay enough welfare while they smoke cigarettes on the back porch, nothing will change and, in fact, it will probably just get worse.
In the meantime, feel free to light one up.
