20th May 2005: "marijuana is rarely injected"
I have to stop my research project soon - it is making me stupider. (Is 'stupider' even a word? You see what I mean?).

Today's readings: a DARE workbook. It contains such lines as 'marijuana is rarely injected'.

It invents a whole new class of drugs - 'polypills'. This is basically a catch-all term for every drug that isn't alcohol, tobacco, cannabis or solvents. (Yeah, you and I know that most of those drugs don't come in pill form....DARE, however....)

Polypill users, apparently, are "a very distinctive breed. They tend to identify with groups such as cults, or they are isolated beings ("loners"). They usually have many more [than what?] emotional, behavioural, and psychological problems". "They risk accidental death, because the drugs they use can be addictive". [right...addictive drugs make it easier to OD - like tobacco...]

Signs that your child might be a polypill user include "magical interest or belief".

Oh yes indeed.

Off on the town in about 45 minutes when I finish typing this junk up. Going to grab a few quiet beers with Michael and Damian, maybe Paul, and then hopefully noisy things up a bit. It's FA Cup final night, and I have to admit I'm not sure I'm looking forward to this one - everything has been going wrong for us this year and I think Arsenal will have the edge. Plus Mike now supports Arsenal because his girlfriend lived near their ground for a while....

On top of the Hurricanes losing 47-7 last night, I think this is going to be a bad weekend for sport.
