It was only a matter of time before someone finally got the right idea when it came to educating kids about drugs at an early age. Even the standard “Talk to your kids about drugs” and it’s wisdom is starting to be questioned by some researchers, some saying it might even plant the seed into action for some who are not doing drugs. And this from people studying advertising and it’s power of suggestion. But that’s for another time.

Ricardo Cortes is the author of what is turning out to be a pretty controversial read, not because it’s about marijuana, but that’s it’s a children’s book about marijuana! This has garnered everything from severe consternation from American legislators and pundits to open applause and kudos from more sensible and reasonable minds.
