Junior High

Someone by the name of Ricardo Cortes has written A new pot-friendly book—for kids. The "It’s Just a Plant" is available on the Barnes & Noble Website this month.

“The book is not pro-drugs by any means,” says Cortes, 31, a T-shirt and skateboard designer who lives in Prospect Heights. “It’s about reconsidering the drug laws.”

David R. Anderson of the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America responds, “On the one hand, it’s almost laughable, but beyond that, it’s just irresponsible. No one would write a book called It’s Just a Drink.”

And one final question for Cortes: Are you high? “No,” he says. “It’s a little too early in the day for me.”
