Marijuana is not the safe drug that many would have you believe it is. Each joint is as harmful as five tobacco cigarettes, and when a joint is smoked, more than 2,000 chemicals are absorbed by the lungs. In addition, this drug has detrimental effects on memory and it hinders learning. And - habitual use of marijuana leads to the likelihood that the pot smoker will be attracted to harder drugs. Learn how you can steer clear of a path that can only lead to heartache and ruin. Award Winner: Videographer's "Award of Excellence"

99% Myths.......2006-02-04

This video is basically a bunch of anti-marijuana propaganda. It shows no facts for the claims it makes. It pretty much puts Cannabis on the same level as Cocaine, Heroin, and Methamphetamine. Shame on the creators of this film for mis-informing the viewers.

No sir, I don't like it..........2005-11-21

This video is riddled with irrational arguments and false information. Cannabis is not completely safe, but pushing this type of misinformation sets kids up; when they eventually try it (out of peer pressure or curiosity or whatever) they see they've been lied to and then question what they've been taught on the other drugs... the TRUE BAD ones. "Hey if this stuff doesn't do what they said it was gonna do, I bet CRACK and HEROIN aren't that bad either!"

For sake of brevity, I'll just tackle the title of the movie itself:

"What the gateway theory presents as a causal explanation is a statistical association between common and uncommon drugs, an association that changes over time as different drugs increase and decrease in prevalence. Marijuana is the most popular illegal drug in the US today. Therefore, people who have used less popular drugs ... are likely to have also used marijuana. Most marijuana users never use any other illegal drug. Indeed, for the large majority of people, marijuana is a terminus rather than a gateway drug." (from MARIJUANA MYTHS, MARIJUANA FACTS: A Review of the Scientific Evidence)

If you can't follow, essentially, the reason why most alcoholics have tried Coca-Cola is the same reason why most heroin users have tried marijuana. It's simple statistical association; Coca-Cola (or rather caffeine) does not cause drunkards, nor does cannabis cause harder drug addicts.

very good information.......2005-05-10

I get so tired of seeing these people leave there proraganda on every thing drug related on Amazon. This video does an excellent job of presenting very truthful and factual information about mariluana. It makes no moral judgement about weather marijuana should be legalized or not, it just presnets the facts about what it can do to your body and mind. Don't buy into the pro-drug hype these druggies are pushing. Buy a professional and well researched video like this one and learn the real truth.

DONT BUY THIS CRAP.......2004-04-30

This movie is filled with nothing but anti-drug government propaganda. It tries to scare people into thinking that all people who smoke marijuana will go on to even harder drugs. Marijuana is only in the presence of other drugs because of the fact that our government chooses to make it illegal.

None of the arguments on this video justify the stupid and immoral laws we currently have on marijuana. Do you think that since "a marijuana cigarette is as harmful as 5 tabacco cigarettes" that people should be thrown in a cage for possessing it? Isn't it your choice what to put into your body, not the state's?

Save your money and just listen to a DARE seminar.

STOP THE LIES! STOP THE IGNORANCE! STOP THE OPPRESION!
DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA!
