Voted : We need to tell kids the truth about drugs, and not scare them with lies.
I think it's great in that it tells kids the truth. Kids are much smarter than we give them credit for, and they know when they are being lied to. When they know they are being lied to, they will see the legitimate dangers about drugs as "more lies."
Voted : The book should not be used as a teaching tool.
It's opening a can of peas. I read every review on this book I could find but did not read the book for myself. It got good reviews but I have reservations. The kid-oriented nature of the book might to make marijuana seem kid-oriented as well. I think the book might get some kids to experiment with something "innocnet enough to be a kid's book" who might not otherwise do it. It does bring the concept of marijuana in an eay to digest form into the nursery. The worst part is the title. That alone would tell kids it's not really all that bad, regardless of the admonishments the book has against it.

for many drugs, they should be neither "glorified" nor "villified" but since we have a drug culture surrounding our children, we should tell them the truth, especially the ramifications of using illegal substances...

I think this book will be useful in homes where the parents do smoke pot. I'm not talking about irresponsible people who sit around all day smoking weed in front of their kids, just the normal moms and dads who work, raise their kids and pay their bills. After the kids go to bed, there's nothing wrong with smoking a joint. Why is that any different from those who drink after work in front of their kids? This book helps to explain to kids why people smoke it and why it's illegal (which it shouldn't be.)
