MARIJUANA - The Truth [NaNoRenO 2012 Entry]

[applegirl]

Hmm...I am a bit ambivalent about this kinetic novel. Reading through it, as well as your reasons for making it, allowed me to understand why you wanted to take a very simplistic mode of narrative. However, I feel like this was meant only for the kids who see the typical "ALL DRUGS ARE EVIL" messages in school and believe it to be true. Since I work in the hospital setting, I was interested to see the current debate of pain killer abuse (which would tie into this topic strongly) or other every day pros and cons that follow this kind of legislature. For someone like me who has a background in pharmacology, it wasn't informative or convincing.

I have to chime in that a big weakness for me is the lack of two viewpoints or any reference material. By making the other side lack a voice, it strongly makes me feel like there are valid points being ignored. Which I'm sure is meant to avoid confusing the typical audience, but for the more informed reader, it ruins the overall message.

Overall, I liked the ambition and desire to make an informative kinetic novel. But I feel like it wasn't nearly as effective as it could have been. It felt more dated than I expected, which may have just been due to my background/education. Personally, I would have preferred a more understanding narrative that referenced the words of Paracelsus (the father of toxicology) who said "All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous."

Wait, Uncle Mugen made a VN about weed?

This is amazing.

Yooray ! the new politically-incorrect VN from our favourite long-haired & moustached HI Guy !!!

(Already DL, of course)

Thanks, Mugen !!

Technically this is the correct use of "politically incorrect"(something the political establishment tries to suppress), rather than "things that flaunt privilege over minorities", however we're also not meant to get too political so I'm a bit confused

I like that quotes XD. I'm studying Toxicology as well.

For this KN : Well, as far as I know, yes, Marijuana holds some specific pharmacology activities, like used to treat migraine, but NO, the risk is higher than the benefit. So your presentation is kinda lack of references (literally I'm asking whether any scientific journal/articles/review can reinforce your thoughts about the benefit of marijuana). That would be more reliable sources.

As for the graphics, as I expected from you, nice-looking and eye-catching. But perhaps I found it rather boring because it's too static. What am I expected for ? This is only a short-presentation, and I have a nice time reading it.

Come to think of it, my avatar is Cannabis itself, teee heee heee
