YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO GET HIGH FROM LIFE

Our children are learning how to smoke marijuana to get a false sense 
of gratification  or high  without exerting the necessary human 
effort to obtain individual achievements and personal excellence. 
That's why I believe school dropout rates, juvenile delinquencies, 
drug killings and gangs can almost always be linked to recreational 
use of drugs like marijuana.

True human gratification or highs are obtained from personal 
achievements and individual excellence such as getting good grades in 
school, receiving school honors and recognitions, graduating from 
schools and colleges, obtaining a good job and receiving job 
promotions, purchasing your first car and first home, creating great 
inventions that benefits society, starting your own business, getting 
married and having your first child.

During a time when they should be using their young minds to learn 
and become great thinkers, inventors and future leaders in our 
society, instead they are failing tests, skipping class and dropping 
out of school because they are "tripping," "spaced out" and 
"detached" from the normal society by smoking marijuana and using 
other designer drugs to obtain a false sense of personal gratification.
