Question by Brad: If anti-drug commercials told the truth, would they resemble prescription drug ads?

The War on Drugs is not really a war on all drugs, but rather just a war on specific drugs that the drug-dealing corporations cannot make a profit on. Of course, people who go to see a “psychiatrist” (a pretend-doctor) and get put on a “medication” (a dangerous addictive drug) for some imaginary “disorder” that the psychiatric organization made up by majority vote (such as ADHD) are not “drug addicts” and it is an awful thing if they break free of their addiction. However, people who choose to smoke pot (which is certainly safer than using Ritalin) are demonized and, if they are of the “wrong” class, tossed into a jail cell.

Question by CCG: As a 17 year old do I legally have to go to “therapy” if my parents force me to?
Im 17 years old and living in california.
the reason why i put therapy in quotes is because its not really therapy. Im gay and my parents don’t like it. So they are taking me to this church organization, New Creations, to un-gay me.

Ive been there once and its a waste of time and money but my parents are all gun ho for it?
