there is a great song by fish titled marijuana. Its one of my favorites. And its educational lol ;)

You know what else is an educational song....
because i got high by afro man

Well once upon a time in 1776 Thomas Jefferson signed his name on a piece of marijuana, and this document was a symbol of freedom and of liberty, at least for the rich, white, gentry. And time marched along, this plant that I referred to has been used for everything from medicine to the American flag. And now it seems to me that somewhere along the way things got messed up, yeah, messed up, for marijuana.

A gift of God to my brothers and me. Oh marijuana…the government wants to test me when I pee.

Well some say a conspiracy, ? chemical and ? paper industries combined to kill the competition, government hysteria, monopoly, and conflict of interest, with total impunity. Yeah, so, if you don’t buy the conspiracy, just look at the reality that your tax dollars go to spray poison on the fields of a farmer in South America. And as an added bonus, your neighbor might be the proud recipient of that poison weed.

Oh marijuana…the government wants to test me when I pee. Oh marijuana…a gift of God to my brothers and me. Oh marijuana…you can’t legislate your own morality. Oh marijuana…the government wants to test me when I pee.

Free from madness, chronic sadness, what is the half-life of bad propaganda? The policies fail, denied bail, you made him a demon now pay for his trip to prison. Hard to promote the status quote, but what is the shelf life of bad legislation? The hypocrite smirks, it’s a moral disgrace as he reads from the law that was written about the same time that he had his last original thoughts. Men said he was dying and the nausea and the pain left him wasting away and unable to keep a meal down. So he tried everything prescription could obtain but to no avail. The side effects were worse than the pain. So now he breaks the law to use the one thing that seems to help him out. But the people say, “Oh he’s just gettin high.” Not to change the subject but, didn’t you ever wonder why getting high’s a crime. Yeah a crime.

Oh marijuana…a gift of God to my brothers and me. Oh marijuana…now the government wants to test me when I pee. Oh marijuana…the government wants to test me when I pee. Oh marijuana…the government wants to test me when I pee. Oh marijuana…the government wants to test me when I pee. Oh marijuana…(this is the part where everybody would sing along) when I pee.

that song is educational if you read what there saying. I wasn't lying or being a smart ass.

They should give you some help.

hippy poet huh matt...

At our college library there is a special section that carries all types of books regarding different drug uses and such.
Most school libraries have all the books listed on the intra-net where you can type a subject in the libraries search and it gives you a list of books.
Try also looking in medical and psychological books. There is a lot of great information there. Another good source is psychinfo, all the papers they have are written by psychiatrist and they offer studies and facts to either prove or disprove their opinion.
These are just a FEW of the options that are available for information to you. Bottom line... If you want accurate information you must look outside the internet and do some real research!
Best of luck..
