If you're into the illegal drugs you may want to learn how to not get busted:

A one-time Texas drug agent described by his former boss as perhaps the best narcotics officer in the country plans to market a how-to video on concealing drugs and fooling police.

I don't use any illegal drugs, but it doesn't take a stoner to recognize the absurdity and injustice of the war on drugs. As a civil libertarian I can't help but wonder why the government should tell anyone what they are allowed to put into their bodies. If I want to shoot Draino into my veins that's my business. I've known a fair number of alcoholics and dope fiends of various stripes, invariably it is the alcoholics who totally fuck their lives up the most frequently and/or to the greatest degree. I've known people who have smoked pot for decades and are fine upstanding citizens who make large sums of money and have happy suburban lives. Still the demon weed is illegal and alcohol is legal. What's up with that? The war on drugs is not about protecting people from themselves or from shady drug dealers.
