    A guy drinking at age 5 and smoking weed at age 9 is not at-risk at all for future drug issues.

    I blame Nancy Ray-gun 100%. He should sue her.

    Probably. But does giving more information about drugs help or hurt the chances of an at risk kid to experiment more?

    Also, lumping drinking and pot in with other drugs in the Just Say No campaign also has a negative effect. Kids realize it is not that bad and do not give any credibility for the other things the program tries to teach.

    You can revive the billions of dollars in funding this received if you would like though. I would rather put it towards something like early childhood education or something more productive.

    This.

    (I'm telling you, the class was like a tutorial. Any message about why NOT to use them was completely lost.)

    Ok, after learning more about Erics sex life than I ever wanted to, needed to or should know, I think I can safely contribute to this thread by saying Dumas was, is, and will always be a dumbass as long as he blames someone other than himself here.

    Now if you don't mind me, I'm going to drink some bleach to get Eric's post out of my mind.

    Dumas is certainly right to blame the Reagan administration for crack cocaine, which financed the war in Nicaragua.

    In this timeline, observe how it accelerated in 1981, screeched to a stop in 1988, and agents got busted in 1989.

    You're right, and I think this is the part that bothers me the most about this. I mean, look at the original quote:

    He had already been involved with drugs for 8 years before "Just Say No". How ridiculous to blame the anti-drug campaign.

    This thread is... odd. :)

    The notion that Nancy Reagan pushed a petty criminal and drug user into heavier stuff is laughable.

    My favorite quote is: "He turned out to be a good kid until he got in trouble." Most kids are bad kids WAY before they get into trouble.

    My health teacher in high school pretty much told us all of the ingredients in meth. While it's all easily found online, i'm sure that helped some meth heads out.

    Maybe I misread the thread title. I thought it (rightly) said "Dummies blame Reagan"

    The point is that the Reagan administration covered its tracks, by halting its addictive drug-pushing activities in the last possible year. Even Bush didn't agree with some dirty Reagan stuff, and busted Reagan accomplices starting in 1989.

    Thanks to Dumas for reminding us. The mainstream media wants to erase it from history.
