Just say No!

[madbaker]

ursulav, the author of the odd and beautifully-drawn webcomic Digger, has a wonderful bit of musing as to why kids shouldn't take drugs.
Before you start ranting and screaming at me for being a hypocrite given my mostly Libertarian views, go read it.

As a probably-lifelong Zyrtec-taker, I wholeheartedly concur with her view.

Kids will always do things they know are wrong or stupid, but at least they should be given real and useful information, rather than a steady diet of obvious propaganda
No argument, but the question then becomes, "what is real and useful information?" This may touch off many more fights than simply "kids on drugs is bad." (People who accept this simplistic statement are also likely to overlook the grammatical problems with the statement.)

I remember one brief, shining moment when I was getting my birth control pills at the college pharmacy, and noticed the pharmacist wearing a "Just say NO to drugs" button. I looked at her levelly and pointed out that if everyone followed that slogan she would be out of a job.

When she returned with my prescription, she had taken off the button.

A pharmacist with a "Say NO to Drugs" button - now there is a classic Induhvidual!
