| May 9, 2019 at 2:19 | comment | added | Wildcard | @GrumpyCrouton, funny how neither you nor forest has yet to name a single factual error from the site. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 21:01 | comment | added | GrumpyCrouton | I have to say, I agree with @forest and Erik - That site is full of propaganda and should not be used as a source of "real facts" . | |
| May 8, 2019 at 18:59 | comment | added | Sefe | @AJFaraday: Now that is something you have to explain. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 15:05 | comment | added | AJFaraday | This makes the recreational use of narcotics seem not just attractive, but essential. | |

| May 8, 2019 at 12:35 | comment | added | Erik | That website and its overly preachy and fear-mongering tone makes me want to do drugs :-/ I can't imagine anyone would read that and actually come away wiser from it. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 6:43 | comment | added | forest | @Wildcard Given that flat Earth comment, I don't think you've understood my point at all. This is not the place for further discussion and I won't be continuing it here. Create a new chat if you must. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 6:42 | comment | added | Wildcard | @forest, there is a point where seeking "unbiased" information becomes a refusal to recognize the truth. For instance, if I wanted "factual" information about the flat earth theory, I could reject all modern scientists because they are "biased" against the flat earth theory. Your rejection of the site I linked is similar. When the facts about drugs and their effects are examined in full by a non-interested party, the conclusion that they are extremely harmful (to the person and the society) is inescapable. People promote drugs or downplay their harm due to misinformation or personal gain. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 6:33 | comment | added | forest | @Wildcard Discussion of the exact mistakes or myths repeated by the site that I found with my (brief) look at it should be done somewhere other than the comment section. If you're going to look for a site for facts about drugs, find a non-partisan site, not one which is anti (DrugFreeWorld) or pro (Erowid). Otherwise you can't claim to be trying to find the "truth about drugs", just propaganda talking points. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 6:32 | comment | added | Wildcard | @forest, as for being "most certainly not an accurate site" — that is most certainly not an accurate claim. Did you actually read through the "drug facts" page? There are copious facts about every drug of choice, with references to reliable third-party sources. Or are you complaining because the booklets are written so as to reach a wide audience rather than being couched in academia-speak? That makes them more applicable to this question rather than less. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 6:30 | comment | added | forest | @Wildcard I am not here to promote drug use, and that is why I didn't suggest Erowid (a pro-drug informational site) as an alternative source of information. This doesn't mean that you can't arm yourself with real facts, not propaganda points. Using the website you linked to for information would be lying to your child about drugs, not arming yourself with actual facts. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 6:26 | comment | added | Wildcard | @forest, if you want to promote drug use you're definitely on the wrong site and the wrong page and the wrong question. The first line of the question reads, "Drugs are bad, m'kay." This question is not about whether drugs are bad or not, it's about raising children in a high drug use area without exposing them to the dangers of drug use. And the website I linked to is a perfect resource for that. | |
| May 8, 2019 at 5:54 | comment | added | forest | @Wildcard I wouldn't recommend using that site to arm yourself with actual facts. If you just want propaganda talking points then sure, but that is most certainly not an unbiased or accurate site. | |
| May 7, 2019 at 22:43 | comment | added | mgarciaisaia | Stating "the first time you take them it fells good, but then it makes you feel bad" seems much more reasonable and truthful than the other answer. Leaving it at "drugs make people feel good" may probably end up encouraging kids to try them when they grow up and start accepting risks. | |
