Millions are experimenting with " pot" (marijuana), tripping on LSD, or are hooked on heroin! Thousands are "turning on," "tuning in," dropping out. The shadowy, surrealistic world of drugs is emerging as youth's greatest "cop-out." Here are the sobering facts about the new drug craze. "But mom, everybody smokes pot. Everybody's turning on. You have your mixed drinks and martinis, and we have marijuana. What's the difference?" Tragic - but almost TRUE! Drug abuse in the United States today is increasing dramatically. "You might as well face it," said a 17-year-old. "If you're going to college, you'll probably smoke pot." Another youth claimed, "Grass [marijuana] is as easy to get as beer for someone under 18." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
