My kids are at various ages between high school and college. They tell me most of what goes on and each year I have seen the drug problem grow. The best of families straight A kids are substance abusers. It is un common not to drink and do drugs after 16 now. The supply is abundant. At this stage cutting supply is the best way to stop the impending tragedies to come. My kids are not the norm. They saw a close family member overdose 10 years ago and it changed them forever. Trump knows and is on the right path. So many parents have no idea how bad it is. I saw a class of over 100 kids hooked 10 years ago and their parents were not aware. Drug dealers are abundant in every school and attend the funerals of those who overdose to insure no one rats them out. It’s pure evil and one of the reason I first supported Trump. There are many straight A kids doing heroin. It eventually kills them. I’ve been to their funerals. It makes me ill to think of it.
When I taught, I had a student who was brilliant. Straight A’s taking AP classes.
One day she did not show up for class and the principal pulled me out of class.
I stood in the hallway, crying like a baby.
She OD’ed.
I did not shed a tear when my brother died as I always knew the junk would kill him.
There was more supply and a bigger market and more and better drugs in the 70s in my day than now
This is media hype
And a bigger market of kids
