This stinks in general. I was a high school student 20+years ago, and I worked at a high school doing non teaching stuff (like spring break trips and after school programming) thru 2019, and the prevalency of drugs didn't change. The only conversation change was vaping. From my view point, having been a rural student, and having worked in rural schools, they're gonna experiment! Kids need safe folks to talk to. This applies to more than drugs but definitely applies to TX.
At what point are we going to accept that prohibition and abstinence has failed? We need to legalise all drugs and teach our children harm reduction. Removing the profit motive for ever more compact and potent drugs is the only way we’re going to make a dent in this problem. We banned opium and got heroin, we banned heroin and got fentanyl, we banned fentanyl and now watching the morgues fill up while the cartels invent the next monstrously potent chemical.
…so they can tighten the screws even further, making lives even less happy, less prosperous, less rewarding. All they ever do is dig deeper into the mudpit they drag everyone down into.
