Parents might think their kids are not involved, but they need to think again and start monitoring what their children are doing. Children selling drugs to other children right on the schoolyard will have devastating results for the rest of their lives. Think about children who are 6, 7 & 8 years old ruining their entire future before they had a chance to enjoy their lives. It gives me nightmares.

Drug addiction is killing our children's future and, in a lot of cases, their lives. When children start experimenting with drugs at a very young age, their future starts collapsing before they even get started with their lives. I spent 3 years in California parole office classrooms and in a few prisons teaching young adults how to start a new life without drugs. Some made it, most didn't. I've lost several friends to their addiction...they might still be alive, but the person I knew is gone. It saddens me and keeps me writing. Feel free to download and share any of the articles you want. No opt-in is needed. Thank you for a great comment...Pat You are Right, Kathy.

Wow, it's great to see your excellent writing voice so active! Your article hit home with me as I have three grandchildren now...one that is off to elementary school and believe me I've thought about it. Young children need to be educated for sure...they are so prone to peer pressure. Thanks for the reminder...you can bet I'll be on top of this as my grandchildren grow...and I am sure their mom and dad will be too! This is a problem that will not go away and we need to learn to deal with it intelligently...rather than ignoring it thinking if it does not happen in our family it is not our concern. Somewhere along the way we will be affected... Kathy Hi Pat…

I didn't know that Colorado legalized "medical marijuana." A friend of mine in North Carolina tells me that in her very tiny town (only 300 residents) drug abuse is rampant. It's not the same world we grew up in. Sad times. Pat Thank you for your comment, Peggy.

I am seeing more and more acceptance of marijuana by teens in my area and I believe it's because our state as legalized "medical marijuana". The kids seem to think that makes it okay for them too. They forget the part about it being otherwise illegal. :( Good article, Pat.

I'm old enough, too, but while I was in school I didn't know anyone who used drugs. That changed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Now it is a worldwide epidemic.

As the popularity reached my high school students, we talked about them often. I may have been teaching journalism, business or offset pressing, I felt that it was my responsibility to be their "teacher". The problem is much more serious today.

I think child drug addiction is one of the most horrible things that could happen to young children. It perverts their childhood and destroys most chances for living a life that is good for them...no family, kids, education...nothing but despair and futility. Saddens me.

Any parent would benefit from more knowledge and awareness. How many times have we heard about a child trying a ‘drug’, legal or otherwise, and dying or being permanently disabled as a result?

Happy to hear from another with the same interests I have. Drug abuse is one of the nastiest ways to ruin a child's life that I can think of. I am hoping putting real information in the hands of the parents of those children will keep them safe. This site is still being completed. There will be more articles and several interesting free downloads, including a short report and The eBook I wrote will also be available when the techies get through with the site.
