Indiana School Using “Marijuana Goggles” To Show Kids What It’s Like To Be High
Source – Hancock County now has a new way to fight teen drug use. It’s a problem officials say is growing rapidly.
24-Hour News 8 got a first look at the new “marijuana googles” at a Youth Council meeting. The Hancock County Youth Council is a group of teens from four different high schools, that works to keep other young people from drinking alcohol or doing drugs.
“It’s a huge problem in our community, underage drinking and use of substances. A lot of friends and teammates I’ve had have gotten caught and I just think it would make our community a better place if we eliminated it,” said Blair Viehweg, a Mount Vernon senior.
The teens on the council tried the goggles for themselves, so they could use them to warn other students. The goggles allow the teens to see through the eyes of someone who has been smoking, without ever lighting up themselves.
“It just blows my mind,” said Viehweg.
The students took part in a simulated driving exercise while wearing the goggles. The goggles took away the ability to see the color red, which makes tasks like seeing brake lights harder.
“It’s very important to realize that these might not be the exact results, but these are very close to exactly what some people in our community our going out and driving in,” said New Palestine Senior Keelie Baker.
You’re absolutely right sweetheart, it is “very important to realize that these might not be the exact results,” because they aren’t even close. Not once in the history of anything, has anyone, at any time, anywhere, ever, smoked weed and all of a sudden stopped seeing the color red. Where do you even get the idea to remove the color red to simulate smoking pot? If you’re just making shit up, why not remove magenta? I bet the kids would miss less stop lights that way.
If you want to make realistic “marijuana goggles” to show kids what it’s like being high you should not only leave in all the colors, but you should make them all a little brighter. Then you should add the ability to see through bullshit, filter out hypocrisy, and read between the lines. Basically “marijuna goggles” should make Kardashians invisible, Cheetos taste delicious, music sound better, and wars seem stupid, then you’d be on to something.
If you want to get truly realistic, how about creating some “marijuana goggles” that make it seem like you’re doing 55 mph when you’re really only doing 20. Maybe some goggles that make you wait for a 2 mile gap in between cars before pulling out of a street? Make me those goggles, and until then you can shove your red removing goggles up your ass, I’m doing just fine with my rose colored glasses thank you.
