MIXED MESSAGES ON POT
Selling pot is illegal. Selling pot paraphernalia is legal. To kids
especially, that is a mixed and dangerous message. Every year, we
raise over $50,000 to help kids teach each other about drug
awareness. When these kids leave their school, they invariably pass
by one of these stores. They now have a mixed message. "After all, a
store can sell me a bong!" It may be legal, but is it right? When
does "right" finally win?
