WHERE ARE THE DRUG WAR CHEERLEADERS?

Re: "'Huffing' has been around for decades" (Tribune Wednesday)

As to why children and teenagers are ignoring the warnings about the danger of
"huffing" household chemicals I suggest that you look to the drug-war
cheerleaders, who lie and/or grossly exaggerate the harms and danger of
marijuana.

When our children find out that they have been lied to about marijuana, why
should they believe the same people who are warning them about the dangers of
hard drugs like methamphetamines, heroin, and cocaine; and "huffing" household
chemicals?
