[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Time to bring scared straight back into schools. [/quote]

And Nancy Regan "JUST SAY NO!"  Drug-free zones.

I was scared to try anything! [/quote]

the "this is your brain on drugs" commercial and "I learned it from watching you" commercials were pretty effective on me, frankly.[/quote]

And the after school specials. Scared the hell out of me. [/quote]

I wonder if the fentanyl stuff will scare this upcoming generation off of experimenting with drugs. [/quote]

There are no awareness campaigns adirected towards kids nowadays. We got all that through TV, but I haven't seen anything on my kids' social media (today's equivalent of the TV that we watched) that is anti-drug at all. There's no DARE or MADD or "just say no" campaigns right now. Kids have no idea what to do, and parents are so oblivious to the threat that this poses to their "good kids" that they just ignore it because they think there's no way their kid would ever try anything like this/don't have access to it/whatever.

I have ES-aged kids. They know never to take food or candy for anyone or to try anything that looks like a pill or candy that anyone (even a trusted friend or adult that is not their parent) gives them. We talk about it regularly. I wanted to start early to drill it into their growing brains.[/quote]
