If marijuana is so bad for you, then why has there been no reported deaths of the substance alone? Many respected authority figures have said it is not only a trelaxing, peace minded drug, but it has effects cigarettes dont.I guess what im trying to get at is that it shouldn't have been illegal from the begining if alchohol has had a large affect on death rates in the united states.

I think somewhere in your response to jwphealth you need to say that there is no drug that can directly cause an STI since STIs come from sex with other people. I think nicci13 was looking for something more too. Some drugs can make you lose interest in sex or become impotent if abused, some may make you unable to sustain healthy relationships, etc. Of course it is always important to remind kids of the changes in decision making caused by drugs, but honest answers about other side-effects are necessary too.
