The following item was received in March 2005 from a drug prevention group in the USA.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n The Drug Policy Alliance was formerly known as the Drug Policy Foundation. Chances are high that if your state legislature has a bill to promote “Smoking Marijuana Cigarettes as Medicine,” it was sponsored by the Drug Policy Alliance\/Foundation.<\/p>\n Under the name, Drug Policy Foundation, the group actually developed a “Safe Crack Smoking Pipe” which was distributed with the following cautionary tips:<\/p>\n “Avoid cut lips”<\/p>\n “Have safer sex”<\/p>\n “Be careful with your stem or pipe”<\/p>\n “Don’t get cut lips! Cuts caused by sharp or hot pipes can expose pipers and others to infections diseases, especially when you have oral sex without a condom, dental dam, or a latex barrier.” (Insight Magazine, 12\/97)<\/p>\n The legalizers call this “Harm Reduction.<\/span>” Parents call it “Harm Promotion.<\/span>”<\/p>\n Legalizers regularly say they “don’t want children to use drugs; however, recently both the Drug Policy Alliance and the Marijuana Policy Project have participated in funding\/distributing a new book called “It’s Just A Plant” A Children’s Book on Marijuana” that trivializes and even makes marijuana seem like normal behaviour. For more information on this book, go to Drug Policy Alliance (http:\/\/www.drugpolicy.org\/<\/a> ) and type in “It’s Just A Plant.” The child who is the main character in the book appears to be between the ages of 5 – 9. At one point, she exclaims: “Wow! I’m going to plant some marijuana at home!”<\/p>\n Marsha Rosenbaum, a longtime legalizers wrote the “afterward” for the book and currency trader, George Soros, is listed with those who “inspired” the book!<\/p>\n \u00a0 The following item was received in March 2005 from a drug prevention group in the USA.
