  hereinstead.com: Marsha!




MARSHA!

Marsha Rosenbaum is regularly attacked by the true-believer drug warriors for the terrible crime of suggesting that miseducating teenagers about drugs does no one, especially the teenagers, any good at all. Further, she actually says these heresies to PTA groups, and increasingly teachers and parents agree with her. For the drug warriors this makes Marsha very dangerous.

Further, as the drug warriors understand, she knows of what she speaks. She has done years of terrific NIDA-funded research on drug use and abuse, published a large pile of serious scholarly books, articles and monographs, and put out a string of excellent op-ed pieces. She also gives great speeches and organizes terrific conferences. In her spare time, she runs the San Francisco office of the Lindesmith Center. Most remarkably, even Marsha admits that she may have only begun her most important work.

For all this, and for being a mensch-supreme, this page is devoted to some of www links by and about her. We at hereinstead.com declare that henceforth, like Oprah and Hillary, she needs only one name. She is MARSHA!

MARSHA ON THE WWW

  • Keep Teenagers Safe

    February 2005: Marsha has been virtually alone in speaking out against the growing practice of arresting the parents of teenagers who make the safety of their children more important than the war against underage drinking.

  • Marsha's own Safety1st.org web site

    Marsha has developed a web site for her "Safety First" pamphlet and project for teaching teens and especially their parents about a reality and truth based drug information. In America today, this is radical behavior.


  • The Giants' Loss

    October 2002: Marsha gives in to her sports writer genes to 'splain it all, beautifully. We may have to call her Ms. October.






  • MARSHA, one of the 10 sexiest in S.F.

    Just remember,you heard it hereinstead first that Marsha is sexy. Now a San Francisco paper has also determined she is one of the 10 sexiest people in S.F.

    And where did the paper get a picture of Marsha? Hereinstead, of course. And who took the stunning picture of M? Why the resident photographer on staff at hereinstead.com, none other than HGL himself -- now "a published photographer."






  • Marsha's open letter to her son Johnnie about drug use

    From the San Francisco Chronicle, September 7, 1998, often reprinted, and now translated into all kinds of languages -- Italian, Spanish, Russian, French, German, Polish, Japanese, and probably Urdu.

    You can read it in the original English.
