[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't spend much time discussing the dangers of cocaine, weed, heroin, etc.

I just show my kids real stories of kids trying oxy or any number of drugs, and getting something laced with fentanyl and the kid died on the first try.

Those stories scare us parents, but honestly, also resonate more with my kids.  When they read about someone trying it once and dying on the first time (and more likely to die since they have zero tolerance), that is enough to scare them straight.[/quote]

Cocaine is a big problem in college.[/quote]

I am sure it is...but the more important issue is that someone may give you cocaine laced with fentanyl.  You won't just have a bad high...you will be dead on the first try.

It's just a very different discussion vs. pre-fentanyl.  Yes, in the old days you could overdose if you literally took too much, or you could become addicted.  However, you would never hear a story of someone dropping dead the first time they tried it because it was laced with poison.[/quote]
