    I remember being taught all kinds of lies about weed for sure. I also remember “Officer Friendly” coming to my elementary school and telling us not to pick up any pieces of paper with cartoon characters on it, by which I think he meant a whole blotter paper’s worth of acid?

    And now that I am able to monitor my own child’s schooling because she’s going to an online school, but it’s a public school and it’s run by evil Pearson, the company that makes all the public school textbooks, I can see that they’re still going with all kinds of bullshit lies like “marijuana is a gateway drug” and they don’t even bring up the fact that there are pharmaceutical options when it comes to alcohol and tobacco.

    But they sure did push that AA crap.
