Everyday, approximately 4700 American children under the age of 18 try marijuana for the first time. 54% of the students in the U.S. have tried an illegal drug before they graduate from high school. Every family and every child today is vulnerable to the allure of drug use. Good kids are not immune to the lure of drugs. Today’s young people have far more to choose from than their parents did 20-30 years ago. Today’s drugs like Ecstasy, Heroine and other substances are just as available as marijuana was only a few years ago. Come learn more at this community event.
