A children's book attempting to teach children about the nature of marijuana has been released. The book, It's Just a Plant, is not being widely accepted by the public because of it's questionable approach in educating children about marijuana. Here is the author's description of the book.

"It's Just a Plant is an illustrated children's book about marijuana. It follows the journey of a young girl as she learns about the plant from a diverse cast of characters including her parents, a local farmer, a doctor, and a police officer.


Marijuana can be difficult to talk about.



Many parents have tried marijuana, some still use it. Neither feel great about disclosing such histories (many duck the question), for fear that telling their kids might encourage them to experiment on their own.


Unfortunately, most "drug facts" that children learn in school are more frightening than educational, blaming pot for everything from teenage pregnancy to terrorism. A child's first awareness of drugs should come from a better source.


It's Just a Plant is a book for parents who want to educate their children about the complexities of pot in a thoughtful, fact-oriented manner."




In true children's book fashion, the book has bright pictures and a simple story. But in this story, children won't fighting a dragon, they'll be chasing the dragon
