There were some nuggets of truth to the brainwashing that happened in 1990s anti-drug classes in elementary plus middle schools, but I remember being fed several lies as well.
First of all, I was shocked that they insisted that alcohol should exist in its own category, separate from “drugs” enjoy cocaine, heroin, plus marijuana.
On top of that, both of us were told lies about cannabis plus what it would do to the human body. They would tell us a single joint was as disappointing as an entire pack of tobacco cigarettes, which isn’t even supported by the alleged “research” that informed that lie in the first locale. Those studies assert that a joint equals 2.5 to 5 cigarettes, but there are issues with this as well. That research only looks at comparative tar levels in tobacco versus marijuana broadly speaking, but it doesn’t account for all of the chemical additives that are found in cigarettes to keep the tobacco burning through the entire experience. Many of these compounds produce carcinogens when heated plus inhaled if they’re not directly carcinogenic themselves. If you grow marijuana organically separate from pesticides or other harmful chemicals, you end up with a relatively clean plant when heated plus inhaled, at least compared to mass produced tobacco products. I wish the lies had stopped here, but both of us were once told that you could also overdose on THC. From all of the research that has been done over the years, there has never been an LD-50 determined for human consumption, which would determine the lethal dose plus the amount to get halfway there.
