[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WMS parent again - I haven't heard of H at WMS, I've heard that it's pills from personal prescriptions or taken from home medicine cabinets that are sold to other students. And apparently the OD was on these types of pills.

Maybe our new interim principal will speak out on this issue. Or she's too busy writing about fidget spinners and the kids that walk to the Lee-Harrison shopping center after school. Bigger problems here, lady![/quote]

any time there are kids that rich, there will be drugs.[/quote]

Unfortunately it happens at poor schools, too.  The drug problem is growing and it is scary.  It seems to be on a few fronts including prescription medications [b]as well as kids beginning with gateway weed [/b]and moving into harder stuff more quickly than 'the good old days'.  It could also be that the high is more intense and the younger kids aren't recognizing the risks.[/quote]

Ugh, weed is not a gateway anymore than cigarettes or alcohol are. Not everyone who smokes weed moves onto anything harder. It's unlikely that any kid would start out, before even smoking a cigarette, by injecting heroin. That's not how it happens. But there's nothing unique about marijuana that makes it anymore of a gateway drug, Jeff Sessions.  :roll:

The REAL gateway here is LEGAL prescription medication, opiods specifically. Because they are extremely powerful and physically addictive and lead, quite quickly, to heroin use. But who's standing up to Big Pharma? Nobody.
