As children we label them as ADD or ADHD, -stuff them with Ritalin and SSRI's........ and then we wonder why they become addicted to prescription drugs?????

How insane is that?

[PoetiqueNYC]

Without one death in the history of thouands of years ever proven to have been caused by the effects of marijuana, an illegal drug. Glad its finally being exposed.

I agree especially by parents but even more important by doctors.

We arein a drugged up world. We accept to take a magic pill for every ill we have. Real or imaginary.

People need to wake up and Doctors need to be scrutinized more

[jonz23m]

He mentioned illegal ways of getting the drug. How about mentioning the doctors who prescribe it?

[MacCoinneach]

The leadership of the FDA and USDA and certain members of the Senate and House of Representatives need to be arrested and jailed for covering up facts in relation to vaccinations, prescription drugs, and the connection to the pharmaceutical companies.

And you wonder why the American empire is swiftly falling like the old Roman empire?

god damn nazi pharmaceutical industry

[travisplugoway]

Even he knows the truth. Education is the best deterrent. kids are taking pills because they believe that it is safe. They are told by people with good intentions that marijuana is dangerous and just as dangerous as heroine, cocaine, and methamphetamines. At the same time, they are bombarded with ads for various pharmaceuticals. The adds talk about how great the user feels after taking this simple pill. Everyone looks happy and everything is kosher as long as you take our drugs(pharmaceuticals).

Parents need to take a good look at the situation. WHY are you kids doing drugs. Doesn't take a village to raise a child it takes PARENTS! Jackass? Hmm that was such an amazing intelligent comback!

Sorry If A kid is dumb enough to take a handfull of drugs because he or she thinks it's cool. Talk about dumbing down American kids.

[jubetube66]
