| I know there's a lot of weed in our NOVA high school, but also hear that some kids are moving on to harder stuff. In my day that meant coke, usually. What does it mean today? |

Heroin is becoming a bigger issue. often it's snorted because there is still a stigma about IV use. That doesn't mean snorting is safe (setting aside the addiction potential). Prescription painkillers are becoming much more expensive since FDA crack down on pill mills and heroin is the cheaper alternative.
Ecstasy is a dance, rave drug. Coke remains expensive and, thus, less accessible. Crack, though cheaper, really hasn't caught on much. I don't think meth is very present in the high schools, but doing things like crushing up Ritalin etc and snorting it is pretty routine. Also, hash oil has become much bigger. Often users vaporize it through a vaporizer heated by a hand held blow torch. Sound like huge fire hazard to me. Also, much stronger than weed and in susceptible individuals can lead to severe personality changes. Said to be big with some LaCrosse teams. |

| LSD is still around as well. Not sure teenagers would consider it a hard drug, though. |
