You mean like cluster headaches?

Seriously though, this drug counselor has a seriously skewed veiw as to why teens use drugs. Does anyone take morning glory seeds to feel better (besides cluster headache sufferers)? Seeds aren't a feel-good, cope-with-stress drug. Does anyone working in the drug abuse/enforcement field ever think outside the fear based and counter-productive DARE program? Why do so few people retain their intellect when the subject is drugs?

That's it, vig, you got me started... Well...I'm off to some drug prohibitionists blog to ruin their day.

I'd hate to see us get bad press with good intentions....

I like the picture they used

Kristy Peterkin, whose family owns Ayers Variety and Hardware, says the owners caught two teenage boys stealing "13 or 14 packs of these seeds."
