Bob Marley - Love, Sex and Marijuana ~ The About

We all have seen the scenes from the King of Reggae with his ever present 'co-star' in many of his interviews. In one of his famous moments he calmly turns and says ''Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.''

Many years have passed since Bob Marley said these words and high levels of addiction to pot along with the many health dangers that it poses have proven that by no means will herb be ''the healing of a nation.'' One thing he did say correctly and thousands of drug and alcohol rehabs are evidence of this is the fact that '' alcohol is the destruction.''It should not be taken for granted that not just alcohol can destroy one, but any drug, habit and tendency that compromises a human being of clear reasoning and stability of self.

The use of pot usually begins in teenage years, with teenagers trying to be a part of a group to identify themselves with some popular trend. As they evolve, many step into the light of maturity and shed certain behavioral patterns, but in many instances take the use of pot into their adult life. The result of this have been higher statistics in drug rehabs of addicts trying to overcome their addiction to marijuana and the chain effect of this has been more broken homes, dysfunctional human beings and utter sadness.
