Is your kid stoned?
11 MILLION American kids are on drugs; and no they are not on the old school drugs like weed and glue or higlighter pens, no they are on the new drug of choice prozac. How can 11 million kids need prozac, this number does not include the kids that are strung out on Ritalin. What happened to the war on drugs...all the money that is gone into fighting the spread of weed probably should be spent on counseling parents to get their damn kids of the new crack. Now I know some kids will need prozac but not 11 million. By the way to give you an idea of how significant that number is here are some US census figures: 53.3 million children ages 5 to 17 as of July 1, 2003 (see I can do research). So basically 1 in 5 kids are on prozac. Now kids will continue to smoke weed; does anyone know what weed + prozac will do to these lil shorties coming up? I have never been a smoker but lets face it most of my friends are and Im fine with that in fact I love that, I think some of the best peeps on earth are weed smokers and some of the most mellow. Yet those are the same peeps that big governemnt will attack while helping to push crap like prozac down the throats of kids and adults. I would rather see more peeps on weed than on prozac, at least I know the weed is herbal and natural and no one ever has OD on it. Heck if I was hostess cupcakes I would make the cupcake paper out of blunt paper and just corner the market.
I read an article about a parent concerned about the same thing. The article is in "Psychology Today" magazine, you should check it out!
