Marijuana is its own special category, but club drugs (which for some reason include date rape drugs), inhalants and steroids are all in a "miscellaneous" category together?

Also, note all the ridiculous drug propaganda lies.

It was just difficult to hear the personal opinions that officers had of people who had been on particular drugs that are so often used in a hospital setting.

Try telling a third grade kid that she is a bad person because the hospital put her on intravenous pain medication

Forgive me for thinking these phrases imply discomfort. I can only go by my life experiences, which led me to think that calling experiences "difficult", or being called a "bad person" by an authority figure would be aptly described as at least "uncomfortable".

Dare was dumb because it was an abject failure. Presenting information in the most alarmist possible context while being dry to the point that kids tune out any significant information is a terrible way to treat health education.

You have some very confusing issues tying your hospital experience to a personal judgement of people who use drugs.
Do you think that other people haven't been to the hospital? Do you think that I haven't been to the hospital? It's not that uncommon. Hell, you mentioned breaking your arm falling off some playground equipment. I had the same injury as a child, except I also had a greenstick fracture in my humorous that I had to be put under to have corrected. I was so ill coming out of anesthesia that I remember it less fondly than the actual injury.

Jumping from a bad experience with intravenous pain killers to "I hate people" is weird. Those people didn't have anything to do with it. Why do you hate them? Not understand? Sure, that would make sense. Find foolish? Totally get it. But hate? Why hate?
And why all drug users? What does a pothead have to do with it at all?
