SAFER co-founder and Marijuana Is Safer coauthor Steve Fox's latest post on the AlterNet SpeakEasy discusses how MTV's The Real World is actually not realistic at all when it comes to marijuana. He also includes an excerpt from Marijuana Is Safer, which addresses the long-running reality show.
Here's Steve's intro, or you can CLICK HERE to read the entire post: Millions of reality show addicts around the nation are on the edges of their couches today waiting to learn the fate of Real World
castmate Andrew, who was pushed off what looked like a fifteen-foot
high wall onto the pavement below by a drunken housemate, Ty, at the
end of last week’s episode. Fortunately, we can assume from a few
previews of the season, as well as the lack of media reports, that
Andrew did not actually die as the result of this fall. But that
outcome is due more to luck than any precautions taken by the show’s
producers. In fact, their role in his injury could almost be
characterized as contributory negligence.
