1. INFORMATIONAL MEETING ON NEW TRENDS IN ADOLESCENT DRUG USE
The majority of children, teen and college students using drugs are not drug addicts: they are simply experimenting. Whether
experimentation starts with the “challenges” promoted online, trying pot or popping pills, a few bad decisions can lead down the path with many consequences. The “glamorizing” of drugs is promoted all over the internet and in today’s music. The types of drugs out on the street continue to change and are easy to obtain, such as alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, heroin, etc. Alcohol and marijuana are two of the most prevalent drugs used today.
