What do you like about this subject?  The challenge of doing something effective amongst the minefield of useless info that surrounds drug use/misuse
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  You can smoke absinthe
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Here's a couple of things.. Legalise all illicit drugs - think about it, how wise is it to have the production, marketing, distribution and supply of any product in the hands of criminals...it's not wise at all really and political aims are the only reason why this remains the case. Cannabis doesn't cause mental healh problems - repeat the research mantra after me...correlation is not causation.
