In the fourth grade (I was in a 7th day adventist school) our whole class took a survey about drugs. One of the questions were, "Have you ever smoked pot?" Well I thought smoking pot was to boil water in a pot and breathe in the steam. So I put yes. Boy was I so embaressed after learning what pot really was...

My mother worked in a drug rehab facility when I was young. I fully believed that instead of marischino cherries, the name was marijuana cherries and no one bothered to correct me until much later in life because my parents thought it was hilarious.
I used to belive that when ever somebody did grafiti that meant they did drugs.
none of ur business
I yoused to think that drugs was drums
Big memory
When I was about 10 my mum asked me if I would ever sniff glue. I had no idea what she was talking about and so i asked her. She said that if i sniffed glue I would die. When I was about 11, I had a big fight with my parents and I was so wound up, I decided to "Kill myself". I got out my clag glue, wrote a will, took one sniff and convinced i was going to die. I started crying and woke up in bed an hour later, much to my relief!
just bored
When I was about 5 or so I remember first hearing about people "taking pot". I used to think people ripped open cigarettes, poured the contents into a saucepan, light the stove and smoke the pan like a cigarette.

when i was in the 3rd grade i thought that "smoking pot" was a big gigantic cauldron with smoke comming out. It wasn't until i was about 11 when i really found out what it meant.

For some utterly bizarre reason, I used to think chewing gum was some kind of drug. When my dad took me with him to the barber shop, the barber always tried to give me a stick of gum...I always let my dad have it. ^_____^

Admittedly, I never knew much about drugs until I was about 11 or 12, so when the Acid House thing was about I thought nothing of going around screaming "aciiid" - it seemed so innocent, especially with that smiley face everywhere.

I thought the only people who did drugs were people who had tattoos and red pants did drugs. I never wore red pants.

Until I was about eleven, I thought that people only did drugs in the U.S. and Mexican people sold it to them. I always wanted to live in England because I thought they didn't do drugs there.

When I was in grade school I would hang out in the park with friend and some of the older kids would smoke pot. My mom asked me if I had ever tried it and I explained I had not. She told me it was a good thing because I would grow women breasts. Also one of the older kids in the neighborhood was already growing them because of this. Although he did smoke pot regularly I believe he was just overweight so I abstained for years believing this.
When I was in grade school I believed that the only people who became dope addicts were the ones who'd been absent on the days we watched those films about how bad drugs were. Either that or they just didn't pay very close attention.

I was told that if you paint your cigarettes with nail polish and smoke them you get high. Yeah, right. Gag. Age 60 lungs at age 14.

I used to think that you could get arrested for having a packet of Rizla's that had bits torn off the top...
