I’m glad I can be around to tell her what is and is not bullshit or propaganda. Even when it’s about alcohol and cigarettes. They don’t even discuss medication options for alcohol and nicotine addictions despite those being real options that work well for some people.

Did they even tell her about alcohol? I didn’t see it in there at all

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

They did. It was a separate lesson. It was also full of nonsense.

Here’s a great lesson for your daughter: don’t believe allg the shit they tell her at school.

No worries there.

Yep that certainly is exactly the bullshit I was taught in the Midwest.

I wish schools were able to use the categories of “do your research” “probably a bad idea” and “definitely a bad idea”. There are drugs kids need to be warned about and by being honest about marijuana and lsd you build credibility when you tell them to never try opiates and that poppers may not ruin your life, but like there’s never a situation where they’re a good idea.

We also need to be honest about how we got into our opioid epidemic and how most heroin addicts got hooked after getting prescribed.

Kids are stupid but they aren’t stupid how us adults think they are. When we lie to them they remember to discount everything we say, even to not smoke cigarettes.

Well said. I made sure I told her all about the opioid epidemic and she already understands how shitty our healthcare system is.

Shit! I totally forgot that weed is a gateway drug.

Quick someone get me some black tar heroin!

BilboBargains ,

Do they go on to mention any negative effects?

I love the idea that this isn’t a smear campaign but a promotional one haha. You’re right this article mostly reads “Apart from some shakes and wanting more later, these are all a great time” lmao.

Jimmycrackcrack ,

At least it’s broadly kind of informative in description of some of the categories before the ‘continued’ section. That may seem a low bar but I guess efforts to educate on this topic have set such a drastically low bar in decades past that it’s encouraging to see it lifted slightly off the floor. The categorisation scheme takes a bit of a nosedive when they get to marijuana which for some reason has its own category, also for all the drugs and categories they describe they make the mistake of failing to describe the effects that make people want to use the drugs in the first place. I can see why they might be hesitant to do that, you don’t want to actively encourage people to use the drugs, but I remember when getting similar lessons on the topic thinking that it was an obvious omission because it’s hardly like people took the drugs, repeatedly, because of how much they enjoyed the “impairment” especially as I has my own first hand experience running directly counter to it. The failure to address the positive sensations taking such drugs produces that have caused people throughout all of human history to seek drugs out, damages the credibility of the information since it clearly sought to discourage at the cost of objectivity.

I remember my old boss asking me what the effects of cannabis were. I was like “which cannabis? Indica, sativa, high CBD, high thc, etc” Cannabis is like wine, but different strains have different effects. There are stains that I use at night that leave me happy and couch bound, and there are strains I use on a weekend morning that make me clean my entire house

Being able to pick your strains sounds nice

Decades ago, my school's drug info was similar: every drug had a single entry ('euphoria') in the Pros column and a massive list (ending with death) for the Cons column.

It's propaganda to support the war on us and the legal slavery of 1% of the whole population. It's not education

Impaired mobility on weed? Then why am I setting top rank scores in project muse while high as fuck?

webghost0101 , (edited )

This reads like an ai response. The first part is reasonably accurate, much more then my own classes thats didnt differentiate at all.

The continued part is a gptchat tell I think someone continued with “write another section on weed and club drugs like x y”

Its another tell that this section 2 is alot more unhinged then the first.

It is biased , probably the prompted “for a school to discourage” but its far from the worst ive seen and heard

vala ,

The fact that LSD and shrooms are in the same category as PCP.

can ,

I’ve always seen it classed as a more of a dissociative. If it were actually in the same class as shrooms and LSD then I’d have tried it by now.
