Drugs Good News About Teenagers and Drugs
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 10:41 AM
Smoking marijuana is becoming even more popular among U.S. teens and they have cut down on smoking cigarettes, binge drinking and using methamphetamine, according to a federal survey released Monday.... The increase of teens smoking pot is partly because the national debate over medical use of marijuana can make the drug's use seem safer to teenagers, researchers said.
Smoking marijuana is safer than smoking cigarettes, binge drinking (any kind of drinking), and using meth, so American teenagers should be praised for their good sense and good judgment.

Until they get too high. It's a paradox wrapped in irony wrapped in... what have you....

Wow! Who peed in your cereal this morning? Not all drug use is bad. Take that viagra that you use, is that bad? I'm sure your wife thinks so, but do you?

Keep your hippy shit. I'm a juicer. I'll be hanging out with JFK, the homeless man under the bridge, various rappers drinking Cristal, the Rat Pack, and various classy broads with martinis under the banner of the Brotherhood of Booze.

@matty: Dan Savage has a marriage license with a female, although he hasn't actually used it. They've never actually had sex, they don't love each other, and he lives with a guy that he is married to (in Canada,) and the female lives in a different state, with another female, (who she is also married to, also in Canada.)
As for his husband's feelings on Viagra, I don't actually know: Dan doesn't write about his own sex life.

My comment wasn't made towards Dan Savage, rather it was made towards the brilliant individual who posted first, Fire Dan Savage.
I rather enjoy Dan Savage, and I would rather have teenagers smoking a joint than getting all drunked up.
