Marijuana is the most commonly abused illegal drug, in part because of its undeserved reputation as a "harmless" way to get high.

Marijuana: Stone Cold Stupid sets forth the very extensive list of serious ill effects associated with the drug, including permanent damage to thinking and reasoning ability, chronic bronchitis and frequent respiratory infections and a complete detachment from previous interests and goals called "amotivational syndrome."

The pamphlet also stresses that marijuana, like alcohol, greatly impairs a person's driving ability, accounting for a third of reckless driving arrests.

Readers are urged to resist pressures to use marijuana, and are referred to In the Know Zone, Fox Pro Media's free drug abuse information website, for further research.
