    i think you should show them pictures of really ugly crackheads and ice feinds like the before and after one so they know that the drugs made them look that way

    source control is a waste of money people will always make drugs

    if you get the community involed there would probally be more violence to community members

    Legalize most drugs (not coke or meth for example) and teach the future generations to actually be responsible with it.

    Yeah, there will still be addicts and yes there will be other problems. But honestly, iwould it be worse than this B.S.??? –> http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm

    First of all, schools and media need to stop lying about marijuana usage. When they tell teens marijuana is very harmful even though its not nearly as bad as other drugs, it just makes teens think that other drugs must have been lyed about too. Then they start trying more stuff like cocaine,ecstasy, and painkillers. In my opinion there should be more truthful education about drugs. When teens arent informed about drugs, there more likely to try them. And even if they will try them, at least if there informed theyll be smarter and safer with how they use them.

    teach teens that drugs will make them unhealthy thus unattractive witch is an important thing for girls. and teach the boys if they want an attractive girl friend drugs are not the way. use teens, want for sex, to over power drugs.

    Honestly, end the propaganda, start real education about it, and legalize most drugs. The truth is, most teenagers that do drugs do it BECAUSE its illegal and BECAUSE they’re fed all these lies about it. When they learn that they’re not nearly as dangerous as they’ve been told, they take them to validate the truth and join the counter culture approach to them. There will always be teenagers that use drugs, but if we educate them there will be less of them using them for the wrong reasons and more of them using them responsibly.

    Knowledge is the only true power, not fear.

    Like others said, we should legalize drugs. People will use whether it’s legal or not. But really education on them would only make people want to use them more. I can tell you from truthful info that weed, ecstasy, lsd, ketamine, and other psychedelics are not as bad as they’re made out to be and are okay in moderation.

    Now everything you heard about coke/ crack, heroin, and methamphetamine is true. Those drugs make you feel so good, but are very addicting and will make you waste so much money. I think that psychedelics and other drugs should be told the truth about, so that people who use ecstasy won’t go on to try harder drugs. There needs to be real true education, not a bunch of bull. Cuz what happens is people who use other drugs don’t know anything about stuff like coke, so they just make judgments about them for themselves without actually knowing anything about it.
