Question: Why do uneducated people try to give advice on drug abuse?

I have seen so many irrational responses in regards to drug- related problems: - Cannabis causes cancer - Cannabis puts holes in your throat - Cannabis makes you dumb - All drugs are equally dangerous - Your misspelled words are due to you drug usage - You will never get ahead in life if you use drugs - Tobacco is safer than marijuana - Alcohol is better for you than marijuana These statements I've read on here are completely irrational. I realize that drugs aren't for everyone, and some people claim that they will never try drugs. This attitude is fine, but if you look at the studies, you will learn that a cup of coffee a day is much worse than smoking a bowl. There are legal poisons. Why are diet pills legal, and marijuana not? How is it that meth and marijuana are both classified under the same term, "drug ", when the two are the complete opposite entities?

The government tells them these things through bogus media campaigns and public education and so they eat it up and then call themselves educated. It doesn't matter that medical fact says differently it's the "band-wagon " phenomenon, media has more influence then people think (probably because the media claims they don't) and it's human nature to go with the heard. Exactly why hypocritical and ignorant people continue to deny that prescription and even over the counter drugs are way more harmful then marijuana. Those who know the truth, however, are considered "counter culture " and already seen as discredited by the law so therefore we dont know anything.
