It's Just a Plant -- Despite our best efforts to criminalize, restrict and otherwise hide it in every way we can... children learn about mar1juana. In fact, from the schoolyard to the classroom, kids are flooded with information about it. Unfortunately, most "drug facts" are more frightening than educational, blaming pot for everything from homelessness to teenage pregnancy to international terrorism. Many parents are not comfortable discussing mar1juana use beyond "just say no." Some have tried mar1juana themselves. Others fear that any discussion of mar1juana falling short of outright denouncement may be perceived by their children as permission to try it on their own. In short, parents have few sources of information that puts the safety of their kids before politics. We believe that a child's first awareness of drugs should come from a better source than the government, the media or drug manufacturers. It's Just a Plant is for parents who want to be involved in discussing and educating their children about the effects, the dangers and the benefits of mar1juana.
