Darrell,<BR>
I did not think the article was about substance abuse or the
war on drugs at all. As I read it, I thought the article was about the comments
that can be left after a posting on social media. The article did not cover how
“the pro legalization side react to research” as you attest, it was about dumb comments.
The article’s sum up sentence seems to be: <span> </span>“ Parents need to educate their
youngsters so that they know how biased and full of untruths such comment from
drug users can be.”<BR>Thus I found it to be a rather useless article. Has anyone
ever told their family members anonymous commenters are what one should read to
understand an issue?<BR>
Has anyone here read for instance comments left on YouTube?
They are apparently typically misogynistic rantings from teenagers who feel
powerful when they post words from their potty mouths, at least imho. The
comments are not from music critics, educated seminar attendees or whoever
might pertain to the posted video.<BR>
Your article discusses people who go by “WowFolksAreDumb”,
JDSalinger, FlyingTooLow, BlowsAgainstTheEmpire, etc. possibly did not post appropriate
facts to the topic.<BR>
<span> </span>Who on earth expected
them to?<BR>
