Are There Good and Bad Drugs?

It is essential to educate our children about drugs and the effects of drugs. Not every parent and teacher would be able to sit and explain clearly what drugs are and answer the question "are there good and bad drugs?"

For this reason I recommend that you get the facts from the source of the most effective Drug Education Program available, the Narconon Program, and get educated before talking to the kids.

There is a great little booklet called 10 Things Your Friends May Not Know About Drugs to start a drug education class and also there are videos to amplify the subject, some are on specific drugs. For example there is the Marijuana The Myth video that will help you with one of the most used but little understood drugs.

Kids today are flooded with false information about DRUGS, faced with peer pressure and various media influences. They see DRUGS and ALCOHOL being used all around them, but are being told that "they" shouldn't try drugs. In the United States, the average age a young person is exposed to street drugs being tried or abuse of medical drugs is 8 years old (the third grade).

The key is to provide them the correct, precise information without bias to help them make the right decision and not to use drugs.

Alternative and free drug education videos are available in YouTube.
