It's always been this way anywhere there is a combination of money and pressure. Cocaine and massive amounts of off the books Adderall are particularly popular with smart, high performers. Been this way since I was in boarding school years ago and certainly on Wall Street. Everyone looks the other way unless it's totally out of control.

Sounds like your environment. What's the problem? Too much money?

It certainly hasn't been many of the boys i know at least not to the point that a middle aged woman such as you and I are would know.

How would you know? Are you a 20yo college student?

Lax parenting is very trendy, but as you can see, not very effective. Learn to say No and your kids will not suffer from affluenza as much as their peers.

Drink there for football games or whatever- but it graduated to a basic crack house without the crack. No idea how schools or police do not know about these things.

My son just graduated from W-L last year. I'll have to ask him about this. I certainly know of a person's house near the school where many students would go to party.

Freshmen boys at my kid's private are using gummies and posting about it on TikTok. Dumb kids don't even keep it private.

I hope you called the non emergency line about this.

The drug people at Langley was bad 30 years ago. I can’t imagine how bad it is now.

The op never said which “top school” this is.

My child goes to McLean HS. All schools want to “sweep it under the rug” when drug abuse happens at their school. I can only speak to McL.

Two years ago, there was a McL kid who showed up early for free breakfast and OD’d at school; the school police officer (oops - I mean “SRO”) save the student’s life with Narcan.

Last year, a kid in the McL pyramid died; he was at Longfellow and had a sib at McL. Not drugs, but these brothers were among 6 area students who decided to get drunk together at 5 AM on a - get this: on a Monday morning before school in FCPS. They all jumped in a car with an unlicensed teen driver who was drunk, and unsurprisingly he crashed; the death was a result.

You can find the news reports on that one.

And, there is quite a bit of legal marijuana use by McL students. It’s really irrelevant that kids are technically, not “legally” allowed to smoke or vape it, because the marijuana is all bought legally by someone (same as alcohol now). Thanks, democrats; great movement your part for “legalizing” it.

Drugs and alcohol are easily available in your kids schools. They know or can easily find out who sells it in their school.

Don’t kid yourself and don’t be naive: it’s available.

Your only defense is to raise your kids to avoid drugs and alcohol.

So you don’t think kids used marijuana when it was illegal? I have a bridge to sell you. Also, the Dems didn’t do this: “On December 18, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Attorney General to expedite the process of reclassifying marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.”

This isn’t getting enough press. Declassifying weed is a gift to the guys making bank off selling 30% THC to the kids we care for in the ER coming in with cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. It’s awful and they go right back to smoking it. Don’t let anyone tell you weed is no big deal. This is not the weed we grew up with. - MD

Can we please repeat this??? WEED IS MUCH STRONGER NOW THAN IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO. That's why you can smell it everywhere (the other day, I was driving behind a car on the highway and could smell their weed).
