Answer 4

The media and beliefs passed on from friends, relatives, social norms, religious beliefs, and racism.  You should research the history of cannabis in the U.S. and the intense scapegoating of latinos and asians during the beginning of the twentieth century.  It all ties in so much with propaganda and media.

Answer 5

some people use drugs for an escape from their normal boring lives, but unfortunatly they can become addicted and then start becoming ill. drugs are good in moderation, and not all the time.

Answer 6

Attention !

This is a " no brainer"

No one must ever take a short cut to pleasure or fun.

Drugs, alcohol and ALL  other substances are very bad news.

Good feelings must only come from healthy activities and satisfying relationships with others.

People have the capacity for enjoyment naturally, that far surpasses illegal drugs and alcohol.

Keep a healthy body with good food and exercise.  

Learn to read the classics, enjoy music and keep good friends and be a friend to others.

The decision to use cannabis or any other drug is a no brainer. You don't even have to think about it, the answer is no.

Never listen to others that tell you otherwise.

p.s. in our life there are many strong influences that are bad, reject them all and you will feel that you are in controll.
