ZOMBIE TEENAGERS VICTIMS OF CANNABIS

JUST OVER 25 years ago there emerged, from the depths of the United
Nations, a list of policies promoting an alternative, low technology
society, with freedom for everyone to smoke cannabis. The use of
cannabis was promoted as harmless and its effects physiological,
notwithstanding ample evidence available at the time to the contrary.
Informed opponents to the use of cannabis were labelled "prejudiced",
or "bigoted", an accusation which pointed straight back to their accusers.

The most tragic victims of cannabis use appear to be teenagers whose
brains become disabled for education and emotional development. One
asks, "who gains from a generation of classroom zombies who, as
adults, will depend on other people to tell them what to do?". And,
"who despises our children so much?".
