I am 27. When I was 17 or 18, my now Father-In-Law convinced me that seeds from marijuana could be popped in the mircowave to make "pot-corn". I tried it and found out otherwise.

When I was 5 or 6, I found a syringe somewhere(in our garden I think), and my mom told me not to touch them, because they could be dangerous. Not knowing what drugs were, I thought they contained medicine, and medicine was deadly for us if we weren't sick.

When I was in elementary school, all the buses had a sign posted that said "Bring or use drugs--face expulsion." I thought this sign said "Bring or use drugs--face explosion," I guess because I didn't understand about being kicked out of school. So I thought, probably until I was about 12 and re-read the sign, that if you used drugs, your face would explode.
Ka-boom!
I used to believe that being wasted meant feeling really tired.
When I was young, there was a lot of public service advertisements about the danger of sniffing glue - it being addictive, and will cause you to suffocate etc.
I took this to heart so much that when we did arts and crafts at school, i used to hold my breath whenever the kid-friendly paper glue was anywhere near me
I always heard about how you shouldn't do drugs in school, and I always wondered why they didn't just make them illegal if they were so bad for you. I didn't know until I was about 12 that marijuana and such are indeed illegal.
Me and my friend think that Mini Pickles and Orange tic-tacs are drugged!!! We had ate tons of mini pickles and orange tic-tacs and we started acting drunk/high (aka laughing hysterically at everything and saying iGat, Gat apple stylie!" etc)
so to this day we think that pickles are cured in alcohol and tic tacs are orange pills.
iGat!!!!

I used to believe that the pharmacies that said "Drugstore" actually sold illegal drugs, so when my parents went inside to get a disposable camera or something I would be scared to go inside Lol.

I thought that to be king or queen or president all you had to do was fill out a job application. Then at school I actually learned about the government system and I was like what the heck my way is better.

When i was in kindergarten, we had a class on drugs every Tuesday (well by drugs they ment taking medicine when you weren't supposed to. Later that year I spent the night at my grandma's and we went to Fannie Farmer's (the candy store). To me famer sounded like pharmacy and I thought we were going to buy illeagal drugs. I was so scared until we got in there. Then I was happy!
My grandma doesn't do drugs
i used to hear about people getting stoned all the time and after reading the book The Lottery i always thought that stoned meant... well, that people were throwing rocks at someone. one day in 8th grade our class had a discussion about drugs and the word stoned came up again... when i was younger some people threw bricks at my dog and i brought that up and said that my dog got stoned!!! lol!!!

When I was little, I would hear about people smoking weed.. Well I thought that "weed" just meant any type of weed like in the yard or something so I wondered why everyone didnt get in trouble for having weeds in their yard... I was quite an idiot when I was little. hahah

When I was 4, I heard about cocaine on the news and I asked what it was... anyway, I was at the beach with my parents and they looked in the sand and said to me "look honey! look at the COQUINA" (coquina are those little shelled animals in the sand) ... well I thought they were saying COCAINE.. so I was yelling "look theres more cocaine!!" ... HAHA.. I then realized when I was a bit older that they were indeed talking about coquina.. haha it was embarassing to think that I said that back then though... xD

When I was a kid I used to believe that if I smoked pot, my hair would turn green.

When I was dating my boyfriend we went to the country so he could introduce me to his mother. She told me stories about her sister and them going to the bar and coming home stoned.
So I leaned over to my boyfriend and whispered your mom is really with it. I didn't know she does drugs. My boyfriend giggled and said No! She meant they were drunk. Well I never heard that term used before to describe drinking. It's a good thing I didn't say anything about her being a New Wave type Mom!
I remember when I was in the fifth grade and the DARE officer came in and showed us the drug case, there was a stamp in there with a picture of dancing monkies on it. When he got to the stamp, he explained people would stick it on their skin and get the drugs that way and the cute monkies might make it enticing to a kid. I didn't understand that this stamp had drugs in the adhesive on the back and from then on thought that sticking a postage stamp on my skin would kill me or make me very sick. And I was very wary of anyone (doctors offices, parade people, etc) who handed out stickers or stamps to little kids.

I learned in the fourth grade that mixing drugs with drinks could kill you. A few months after when I was sick, my mom told me to swallow my advil with water. I cried because I thought she was trying to kill me!
