I knew this day would come, when a liberal president allowed a state to legally sell Marijuana Flintstone Vitamins to children." "Marijuana. It is one of the most dangerous drugs on Earth," the author concludes ominously. "For every one joint of marijuana, four teenagers become burdened with pregnancy."*
