Ritalin warning
May 19, 2017 2:26 pm

Ritalin is one of many a stimulants that can cause life threatening heart problems and weight loss too, the outcome is even worse than the benefits.

#24 Can you prove your claims?

What evidence is there that proves that most of those who started taking drugs in their youth, did not start with Pot? Also it is more dangerous than alcohol. For one thing, the propaganda that it’s supposedly so much better will make users to be more likely to be high while driving and/or doing other dangerous work. For another, I was bullied very much in my secular non Jewish neighborhood (my family where the only Jews, for at least one block, in all directions and any other Jews were lightly scattered throughout the area, but more to one side then… Read more »

There is a harmless plant that was decriminalized by the American government in 1937 for strict business and capital gains.

There are ZERO recorded deaths to weed, yet there are hundreds of thousands of direct deaths recorded to Alcohol, but all we were told in Yeshiva at 14 was ‘Have another L’Chaim”

#2 VERY GOOD!
The biggest threat to public safety is not criminals: drug dealers, robbers, rapists, burglars, etc.
IT’S THE CARE-NOTHING GOVERNMENT OF OURS! GET POLITICAL! ‘The 7 Noahide Laws’ N O W !
ANTI AMERICAN GOVERNMENT!

"gateway drug" myth
May 18, 2017 12:30 pm

While there is good evidence that cannabis may cause permanent IQ reduction when used while the brain is still developing (i.e. ’till the mid 20s) there is no credible evidence that it is a “gateway drug”. It is certainly benign compared to alcohol, which is toxic and can be deadly (alcohol poisoning).

Everyone agrees that young people should not use cannabis or alcohol, but we need to provide fact-based education that young people will respect, not false claims and exaggerations.

the community learns enough chassidus to understand the essence of a problem and a solution that doesn’t involve lame bags don’t wont really help anybody.
if you bake a cake and it doesn’t taste good will you yell at the cake?

It all starts
May 17, 2017 9:51 pm

It all starts with the Ritalin in school for “ADHD”

Funny

Most of ch does drugs including many up and ups. I can’t tell you how many times articles are posted on COL about certain individuals highly regarded programs and they themselves do drugs! We have very honest good examples yet. It’s heartbreaking to see where we will be years from now.

The worst thing is we did it to ourselves. By allowing/encouraging children to drink alcohol, that’s the real gateway drug!

You can always tell...
May 17, 2017 8:52 pm

….when somebody has done a good thing because it makes people argue! The good news is at least now people are talking about the problem. That’s a good step towards doing something. I think that instead of criticizing people would actually go to organizations like Survival and find out what they could do to help, we could actually see some progress. If we all just sit here making argumentative comments, nothing changes.

False info is dangerous – weed is a gateway drug. All drugs are potentially lethal.

Weed ain't a drug

Weed is an organic herb that no one in recorded history has overdosed on!

Citation?

come on
May 17, 2017 2:30 pm

teach you r kids to be normal chasideshe bochrim and they wont think about drugs

a little mistake
May 17, 2017 2:24 pm

kids dont use drugs!!!

adults do!!!

so why does it say on the bag “teach KIDS”? it should say “teach ADULTS”.

and btw sad to say that 80% of CH does drugs, why? because the higher ups running CH are so corrupt and crooked messing up the neighborhood & try to cover up on their actions. and those ppl are doing way more illegal things, JUST BTW!

and i am warning all of u its about to catch up with each and every one of u around the corner!

you can run! but you CANT HIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alcohol prevention? Choose to refuse?!
May 17, 2017 2:09 pm

Has anyone spoken to the menahelim/mashgichim of Lubavitcher mesivtas world-wide??? This is where the problem starts!!!! In the name of a farbreingen…..
Kids are being ENCOURAGED AT AGE 15 TO DRINK. I don’t care if it’s more or less than 4 oz. underage is ILLEGAL!!

Alcohol
May 17, 2017 2:08 pm

Imagine Yeshivas didn’t allow their “drugs” called alcohol be used by their kids? Sad to say: we choose which drug is good and bad.

Beat the crap off the dealers. Especially Jewish ones, especially “frum”/”hassidic”/”meshichist” ( all quoted on purpose, they are truly none of those ) because they have stronger way to influence. Let them rotten in Jail, shamed, no help with child services issues and so on.

Great message
May 17, 2017 1:15 pm

I feel like a few months ago everyone was all hyped up about the problem but it got quiet. I’m glad to see that someone is keeping the momentum going. Yasher koach Rabbi Behrman!
