Students learn about dangers of drugs

Drug dealers are increasingly lacing marijuana and other drugs with highly addictive methamphetamines in the hope of hooking their customers for life, a student audience heard this week.
“The potency is being raised as high as they can get it,” OPP Const. Gerry Dwyer told an audience of 450 students hailing from five Orillia-area elementary schools.
A recent seizure of the club drug known as ecstasy contained significant quantities of crystal meth, an addictive stimulant that has wrought havoc on communities in western Canada and southern Ontario.
Prolonged use can lead to brain damage and cause irreversible harm to internal organs.
Addicts often suffer paranoia and act violently, while rehabilitation is said to be extremely difficult.
Users of pot and other drugs are often unwittingly ingesting crystal meth, added to the mix by dealers aiming to drum up long-term business, said Dwyer.
“People are getting something completely different,” he added. “Drug dealers don’t care about our youth, they don’t care about our community. They will actually give it to them free so they will get hooked. They are basically cash for life.”
The talk was attended by grade seven and eight students, and focused largely on the risks associated with a range of drugs.
Students heard from parents whose children had died from drug use during an emotional video presentation entitled “Everything you need to know about substance abuse in 22 minutes.”
“That is the reality of some of this stuff,” Dwyer said. “People will question every pill a doctor gives them, but then they’ll turn around to the local drug dealer and not even question it.”
Students also learned of the dangers associated with binge drinking and smoking.
Gangs and violence were among the other issues tackled during the morning presentation.
A 13-year-old who spoke with Simcoe.com readily acknowledged that some elementary-age students are already using drugs.
“I see them all the time, walking to school and smoking a joint,” he said.
Crack cocaine is the drug of choice for at least one of his classmates, he said.
“Sometimes he comes to school and his hands are shaking,” he added, while stressing that he himself is “smart enough not to” to use drugs.

what a complete load of bullshit.
“People will question every pill a doctor gives them, but then they’ll turn around to the local drug dealer and not even question it.”
really, I could've sworn doctors prescribe little blue baby-meth pills to anyone who even thinks they might have ADHD, and most people think whatever a doctor gives them is OK b/c its 'not a real drug.'

I have never once heard of weed being laced with meth. Futhermore, anyone who buys laced weed's never gonna buy it again, so that's the one way NOT to "drum up long-term business".

look out there's a huge conspiracy!
yeah right, by that logic all weed dealers should spray their weed with heroin, that way everyone smoking would be INSTANTLY hooked PERMANENTLY.

nobody laces weed anyway, unless they charge extra. Dealers would lose so much money if they started lacing their weed

Ive heard of assholes spraying their weed with RAID or other chemical sprays but no methamphetamine. On the other hand the ecstasy thing is completely true. I knew this kid who was in to E big time and he said half the time he'd get his shit he'd be wired from the amphetamines that were put in/replaced with the E. The thing about is he didn't seem to upset about it, but then again he started pretty much becoming like that guy from Requiem for a Dream, looked just like him and everything. I feel sorry for the kid, that xtc fucked his life up. He would always by rolls and sell them, well one day he was selling a large sum and he ended up getting robbed at knife point for it. Well he found where the person who did it lived and he burned their fucking house down. I couldn't believe it when i heard it. This kid is in prison and gonna be there for decades.

So how does an elementary school kid support a crack habit? I know dealers who consider high school kids an unacceptable liability. Who the fuck sells to children? Anyways remember, Dare: to resist drugs and violence!

Lying to kids and encouraging them to bully is cool.
HEY KIDS... your WEED has some METH in it. We saw your DEALER put it in to get you HOOKED.
Hey STRAIGHT EDGE kids... point at the DRUGGIES for the CAMERA and tell everyone how much SMARTER than them you are!
