This discussion about drugs should be left to those who know what they are talking about like Freddie and I.  :P

Since when does pot lead to heroin?
Would you rather have your kid smoking pot or drinking alcohol? What do you think is easier to kick the habit?
A drinking habit is much harder to kick than a pot smoking habit. Nobody has every died from pot withdrawal.

Also someone wasted on alcohol can't function. Someone high might not even be noticed. Anyone ever notice I was high at any of the DO's?  :P

Pretty sad. We are only 0.02% of the population
It already went up a notch, it goes by searches. If it went up after a couple ddfers searched it, it is quite obviously because of this issue being discussed. Don't see why that's sad. If u get the whole ddf to search for something random it'll also make it to the top of the suggested list...

Puff puff pass. Don't forget the pass.

Or did you pass to CM who passed to CV who passed to HM? That would explain a lot.

No way if you get everyone on ddf to search for something it will jump to the top of the list. Billions of people use Google

Smoking habit is harder to kick than heroin. Nobody has died from that either. So your point is...?

If u get everyone to search something specific. For instance being that ur so concerned about the search phrase "drug abuse in the Jewish community", how about everyone search for "drug abuse in the USA" we can turn this around in the next half hour guys and then @ya won't be so sad...

Drugs have a stigma in our community that simply doesn't exist with alcohol. Alcohol in moderation is wholeheartedly accepted almost universally. Drugs, including marijuana, is basically taboo.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

True but that doesnt make it worse because it has a stigma.

Drugs are a serious issue. First you need to educate the parents what to look for because the problem is already here. Then you need to educate the kids on all fronts. Home, school, sports or whenever there is a opportunity.

You also need to debunk the myths like kids that smoke pot are 100 times more likely to use heroine. Correlation isn’t cause!

IMO, It's more about the age than the drug.

There are substances that are legal to use. That's a fact.
People (the general public) have a right to do whatever they want to themselves, whether it helps or harms them (cigarettes, drugs, cutting, suicide).

As a Jew, one has an obligation to live, to not harm themselves.
When a jew gets a religious depression they turn to rebelling, whether public (change of friends and religious affiliation) or private (substances and religious observance).

If the jewish community come out against drugs full force they will only further the gap (case in point: Internet).

Rather let's accept the facts that substances exist and are accessible to all, but focus only having these questions with 20+ yr olds (which substances doesn't have great harm) rather than with 15 yr olds (where substances have a great harm).

IOW its more about the  why than the what.

Once again, you know nothing on this topic so please get lost. Yes, a smoking habit is more difficult to kick than a heroin habit. Ask any peraon who has tried atopping and any therapist you wish. Its damn hard.

It is a huge problem. I think if you'd take a survey if parents think medium alcohol or mild marijuana use (for a high schooler) is worse, you'd get very different results from the Jewish community than American society at large.
