The White House just released a study on the potency of marijuana. It’s more potent than it’s been in 30 years, and twice as potent as in 1983. People often don’t think that using marijuana is enough to justify getting someone drug addiction treatment. However, as can be attested to by the many people who have used marijuana and gone on to take other drugs, nothing could be further from the truth. Now, with nearly double the effect being created, getting into a drug addiction treatment center is more important than ever.

honestly, after being one to highly advocate the anti-drug thing, I learned a little more about weed, and it’s nothing like I thought. I mean it’s not nearly as bad as cigarettes are. It’s not addictive like cigarettes, it’s not as carcinogenic as cigarettes, and supposedly it’s classified as a drug that is “liable for abuse,” which is why it is illegal.
