Marijuana Use by Late-Teen Offenders Rising |
Posted by FoM on June 29, 2001 at 17:20:13 PT By Mike Glenn Source: Houston Chronicle Marijuana use is on the rise among 18-to-20 year olds who are in trouble with the law, according to a study published today by the National Institute of Justice, part of the U.S. Justice Department. The rate of marijuana use among youthful offenders increased steadily from 25 percent in 1991 to about 60 percent in the late 1990s. Marijuana use in the general population, however, has held steady at about 5 percent. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |

Closer and closer to anti meltdown. Something LookInside said spurred a memory: Back in the bad old early 1980's, a sci-fi writer named Jerry Pournelle wrote that the Soviet Union would collapse, eventually. Big yawn from most people. But when he explained why, it really makes sense. Computers and the Internet. With relatively free, unrestricted access to information is a local phone call away, how do you keep a people hoodwinked into continuing to believe lies? The technology outdistanced the ideology so fast that most grazdaneen (citizens) were well up on the truth before the appratchiki could spin their lies. When more households are 'wired', we will see more grass-roots' (no pun intended) challenges to the status quo regarding cannabis. Because up to now, our DrugWar appratchiki have had no competition. But they do...now. You can't...not for long, anyway. [ Post Comment ] |

Will the antis ever understand that number scare does not work anymore? I want to hear more stories about using children for undercover activities.. Do you know that we are killing children and loudly proclaiming we are saving the children? I have not seen such articles but I know it does happend everyday. Only that you think it is not your child but mine. What gives anybody that right? The true Sickness in our communities are the people who are silent. People who would not stand up and stop this. I may be a deaf man but I try to tell folks about this true actual experience I have with the local narks who threaten me with no charge if my 16 yr old son would snitch for them. They had nothing on my son. I said no and I was charge with growing a plant. Free the cannabis for a child's sake! [ Post Comment ] |

I bet more people are just willing to admit they use it now. I dont think the numbers are growing at this exaggerated number. Lets just legalise it! [ Post Comment ] |
