Not as stupid as the original intent of the OP.
If you think it's just a plant than the poppies that grow in Afghanistan are just plants too. We should all ignore the fact that they supply most of the worlds illegal narcotics.

how on earth would the children ever know?


He has a point there though.

They don't know, much like they didn't know about Christopher Paul Neil.

They don't expect their teachers to be law breakers.


They don't know until you're on the Evening news.

I think some of the vocab is too far above the target age of the reader and if there's much of a plot, it takes far too late to develop.

the original intent of (my) OP was to show a ridiculous children's book, not get a whole bunch of pothating quilting-bee-grandmothers all in a tizzy about what's good, what's bad, what's illegal and what should and shouldn't be.

could you for a minute think that anyone would really introduce their kids to pot that way? or that i'd think it was a good idea?

OK, so heroin is worse. And crack. But alcohol... it pretty much sits near the bottom of the pile of sad substances.


Heroin is more addictive than alcohol and it's much easier to take a fatal overdose, but alcohol is far more damaging to the organs and tissue than heroin if addicted. Heroin addicts will have far healthier livers than Fishead Soup. Like I said above, diacetylmorphine hydorchloride (heroin) has a vital medical role in many countries.


Who would you rather have teach your kids Syd Vicous(Heroin addict)
Or Dyan Thomas(alcoholic)


Neither, preferably. Being addicted to heroin or alcohol makes you fundamentally abnormal whereby all you give a shit about is your habit. A teacher drunk or high will show it - it's impossible to hide - and in both cases kids will pick up on it and be distracted (even disturbed) by it. Having said that, to reinforce my original claim, heroin addiction causes no long-term organ or tissue damage. Alcohol addiction does. Not slamming alcohol here because I fucking love the stuff, but compared to the pharmacological utility of opium derivatives and the complete misunderstandings that occur about how dangerous they are, alcohol is largely destructive and with no medical utility.

[/quote]

and what's more, there have been plenty of heroin (or general opiate) addicts who have done great things, been reasonably functional and are part of some kind of canon of literature or culture.

comparing dyan (sic) thomas to syd (sic) vicous (sic) is ridiculous.

why do people come up with such ridiculous comparisons in this thread? first the nameless pothead and serial child rapist christopher paul neil. now a respected writer and a dumb guy from north london who, had he not been in the right place at the right time, would have just been a nameless north london moron.

you people may as well be comparing watermelons to canoes.

High school and the retirement home; those are the times for pot, if any at all.


Truest words spoken on this thread. Can't wait til I'm in a retirement home.....will add this to my list of things to do to generally piss off all the young whippersnappers of the world.
