“What do you do with the flowers?” asked Jackie.

“My friends eat them,” said Bob, “and smoke ‘em.”

“They smoke flowers?!”

“Yep. Doctors, teachers, artists, actors, even mayors and presidents. Marijuana makes some people feel happy. Other people say it’s ‘dreamy.’”

“Why do you use it, Farmer Bob?” asked Jackie.

“I don’t,” he said. “It just puts me to sleep!”

[nehemiah]

nope. nothing to see here folks.

[TRIPLE P]

I want this book.

[TRIPLE P]

nope. nothing to see here folks.

Its absurd.

There is no logical reason that marijuana should be illegal. none.

If anyone says "gateway drug" I will drive to whereever you are and slap you for being an idiot.

Holy crap lady...seriously...a little advice.

Stay out of other peoples business... its none of your concern what other people do, what they teach thier children, how they teach thier children, etc,etc....

I'd much rather my kids grow up to be pot smokers than annoying know-it-alls who don't know when to STFU and mind thier business.

Dam! I knew I should have put down the bong before answering you! See kiddies this is what pot does to the brain, it makes you a human onion

[sahlensguy]

It's one thing to teach your own children what you believe is right, it is another to publish a book aimed at other kids, that promotes drugs.

That guy is evil.

[Lucidvizion]

Well, I doubt elementary school libraries are going to carry it.

[nehemiah]

It's one thing to teach your own children what you believe is right, it is another to publish a book aimed at other kids, that promotes drugs.

That guy is evil.it's a book for parents to read w/ their kids.

it helps parents to teach their children what they believe.

[sahlensguy]

Well, I doubt elementary school libraries are going to carry it.

I'm all for personal choice on how to educate on e's own kids and all, but believe anyone who thinks the world is a better place with a book like this, is high.

[GOPchick]

it's a book for parents to read w/ their kids.

it helps parents to teach their children what they believe.

And, i am just curious, why would they need a book to help teach them this?

If it is something they BELIEVE, why do they need a book?

I BELIEVE abortion is wrong, but I am not going to run out and by a book to help teach my belief to my kids.

I'm wondering the same thing to.

[TRIPLE P]

Why do they have books about shitting and pissing?

[gebobs]

This is a message board son people post their opinions.It you don't like it don't read
the post.

Sure it's a message board. And when you post, regardless of the posts merit, you open yourself up to criticism.

If you are referring to the following...
Stay out of other peoples business... its none of your concern what other people do, what they teach thier children, how they teach thier children, etc,etc....
...he isn't directing that to her specifically but to all people that think that government should be regulating personal affairs.

[sahlensguy]

Why do they have books about shitting and pissing?

Natural body functions that don't always work so properly.

[gebobs]

I BELIEVE abortion is wrong, but I am not going to run out and by a book to help teach my belief to my kids.

If you don't like the book, I suggest perhaps you don't buy it.

I don't believe abortion is wrong and I would wholeheartedly support your writing a book justifying your opposition to it.

All this just smacks of tilting at windmills.

[GOPchick]

Why do they have books about shitting and pissing?

ANy parent who needs to buy a potty training book - shouldn't be parents.

[nehemiah]

who cares WHY they need the book?

it's not up to you to decide what people teach their kids.

right?

[TRIPLE P]

Natural body functions that don't always work so properly.

Disagree.

They have books about shitting and pissing to sell. to make money.

If you can't teach your kid to use the toilet you probably shouldn't have kids. If its a medical issue go see a Dr.

This book is intended to get a rise out of people and make a little money. Its working half way so far.

"Just Say No doesn't always work."

chickie - if you promise to read it to your kids, i'll buy a copy and fedex it to you.

No thank you nehe - I will save you the money - fuel surcharge rate is going up to 25%.

I'm not against the guys' freedom to put out a book even as low as this one.

Some of you guys seem to applaud the book itself. Not just the uproar it causes.

A good parent doesn't just teach their kids to say no. A good parent talks to their kids, and helps them make good decisions.

I looks through the first couple pages... it looks pretty accurate.

Marijuana isn't a big deal. The message in the book, from what I saw, is a counter to the bullshit they teach in schools and DARE programs.

I hope my kids smoke Marijuana.... its awesome.

[gebobs]

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. The "Just Say No" campaign has nothing to do with parents. It was another simplistic and completely ineffective strategy in the WOD.

Nonetheless, I was just pointing out the seeming incongruity of O'Reilly making even a lukewarm comment about such a book.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

[FamousAmos]

I'd rather see a cigarette book come out. Too many kids are smoking these days and whatever preventative measures are being used, aren't working.

I believe cigarettes are more available than marijuana and cigarettes are more harmful. Whether or not it's because of peer pressure or they see their parents do it, they are smoking tobacco and nothing good is going to come out of it.

This particular book about marijuana is unnecessary and looks more like an advertisement rather than an educational resource.

Someone brought up the book, "Everyone Poops." This is used in many elementary classrooms. The reason why teachers use it is to get rid of the fascination with kids talking about it. It really can be a pain in the ass when you got a handful of kids talking about poop in class, causing distractions. Same thing about farting.

However, I rarely, if ever, hear any fourth grader talking about sparking up a j behind the monkey bars. It's just not necessary. But, if you're a parent that smokes and wants to explain to your kids why you do it, I guess thats what you got to do.


heh, here's a book about smoking I found, sounds kinda funny...

Cigarette Sue is an interesting story about five young girls and their very first experience smoking cigarettes. After some effective peer pressure from their friend Sandy, the girls try some of her cigarettes. They decide to play a smoking game only to realize that the game goes terribly wrong. Sue and her friends quickly conclude that smoking makes them nauseous and sick, causes them to smell horribly and subsequently earns them disapproval from Sue's mother for their foolish behavior. After some pointed questions and clear guidance from her mother, Sue decides that smoking is not something she wants to continue. She instead seeks her mother's approval and continued good health instead of smoking. This book is appropriate for children in grades one to five. Learn more about the author at www.CigaretteSue.com

Well, that's your opinion and I respect your right to express it. What about it makes you consider it "low"? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but this reptilian response regarding the "danger" of hemp is completely irrational IMHO.

I don't think this book is intended as schoolroom indoctrination. I think the intended market is for parents that do smoke marijuana and understandably are concerned that they are going to be turned in by their children who are steeped by schools in the whole fear of anything that the government classes as a controlled substance.

Some of you guys seem to applaud the book itself. Not just the uproar it causes.

I think the book has a message and while not for everyone, I think the message is appropriate for some.

The uproar, if there really is one, is silly.

[35Pete]

There is no logical reason that marijuana should be illegal. none.

I don't smoke it because it makes me paranoid as hell.

Therefore I could pass any pre-employment drug test anytime.

Which by the way, is a violation of your 5th amendment rights.

But what American ever gave a shit about the constitution?

Answer: Those born before 1900.

So sad.

Show me hard data, not belief.

I smoked Marijuana in High School.

I don't use other drugs.

That's a ****ing myth.

1950's crap.

Marijuana should be legal for adults over 18.

Imagine yourself in Publix or Wegmans.

You: Maa'm. *talking to a 65 year old clerk*.

Lil' Old Lady Clerk: Yes?

You Can I have a pack of Columbian Gold Non-Filtered?

Lil' Old Lady Clerk: Sure. That'll be $29.95 plus tax. Might I recommend the Thai Stick Free Leaf with a pack of Joker Papers? It's pricier at $49.50 a quarter oz but damn!, does that stuff fry me to the bejesus belt! I'm outta here in 20 and the hubby and I are going to belt a few bong hits while waiting for the pizzas and chinese food.

You: Thai it is! Thanks. Do you take Visa?

Lil' Old Lady Clerk: Sure do. Remember. Always toke responsibly.

Wow, Haven't heard that term in a spell. "Tilting at windmills".

[Riley_Mason]

I guess books like this are needed since the illegality of Cannabis makes it readily available to youngsters. You want to keep it away from kids more, make it legal.
Personally though, I think Marijuana is overrated.

I'd actually make the marijuana smoking age 27, precisely because that is roughly the age when smoking weed can no longer contribute to the development of schizophrenia. Depending on your genetic makeup (say 6% chance of developing schizophrenia), smoking weed can make it 10 times higher @ 60%.

why sometimes your posts

One 15-year study of 50,000 young people in Sweden, for example, found those who had tried marijuana by the time they were 18 were 2.4 times more likely to receive a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The Swedish researchers concluded that 13 per cent of schizophrenia cases could be averted if all cannabis use was prevented.

Titling a book "Just a Plant" about cannabis is as much lie as saying "Just an Immigrant" about any foriegner who jumps a border fence.

Page two says the girl went into the parents room after smelling something "funny". Nothing about the smell of pot is "funny" to one who doesn't knoiw what it is.

The book is pro pot no doubt.

There is a great option for parents who live in fear of there kids turning them over to authorities - QUIT.

Thanks. I'll let the editor know that someone from Buffalo has their panties in a bunch about the title.

Are you kidding? In this context, "funny" clearly means "strange".

No doubt. I'm glad you pointed that out. Can you do me a favor and check and see of the sun came up today?

this book was written for a CHILD - since when do children decipher the different meanings when it comes to DRUGS?

You might CLEARY understood that when the author used the word funny he meant strange, but would a 7, 8 or 9 year old know that?

I am for legalization. No doubt, and personal choice is a major reason why. Unfortunately pot is not legal.

This book is geared towards minors and is pro an illegal substance, through deceitful information.

What is deceitful? The title? Come on. Compared to the hysteria that it makes you a homicidal sociopath, it is "just a plant". Therein lies the motivation for the understatement.

Sure it's written for a child's level of understanding, but the intended market is parents that smoke ganj and want their children to understand that marijuana is not the killer drug that their teachers may be telling them.

I honestly can't see how anyone could be upset about this. If the book doesn't appeal to you then don't buy it. The aim is not to get kids to smoke dope, but to understand that marijuana is a safe recreational drug to use by adults.

the more they fight this shit the more extreme the two sides become
