UK: Kids' guide to smoking dope Mike Darvill The Sun Monday 29 Sep 2003 A GOVERNMENT agency is giving kids advice on smoking dope written on a giant Rizla packet. Parents have slammed leaflets that look like the cigarette papers, which are often used to roll cannabis joints. The drugs information sent to secondary schools includes a step-by-step guide on how to use cannabis, including in bongs, cakes and on hot knives. Children who smoke too much are advised to limit their intake. But parents say career advice service Connexions is encouraging kids to take up pot. A spokeswoman for the National Confederation for Parent Teachers' Associations said: "If a child didn't know how to use cannabis before they saw it, they certainly do after. "It should be about why you should not use cannabis." Mary Brett, of Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham, Bucks, said it was "indefensible". Connexions, has 6,600 advisers to give tips to 4 million teenagers. The Government said the leaflet was not "official guidance". On Saturday The Sun told of fury at a leaflet for kids aged nine about pleasuring themselves.
