Why does the government lie to our children about marijuana?

Question by Lance: Why does the government lie to our children about marijuana?
When i was a kid, my health coach lied to the class telling us that you never know if the first “joint” was going to kill us, or the second, or the third (making it sound like crack cocaine) and also told us that after the “high” was over we would be depressed….later in high school obviously that didn’t work so i tried marijuana

now why would they lie to us about an almost harmless plant (not harmless but pretty close)

The problem with lying is that after the kids try marijuana they are going to think the government is lying about all drugs and later go on to harder drugs.
So they lie to our children so they will go on to harder drugs?? Im sorry i don’t think thats the answer
Also i was in second grade when i heard this information, i trusted almost everyone at that time especially my teachers
PoyM Maybe He is an asshole without the weed have you thought of that? Stoners are stereotyped for being very friendly and happy thats what it does to you. Trust me.

You just answered your own question.

EDIT: Then you need to think a little harder about the War on Drugs. Read “Drug Crazy.”
