Just say no. Saying came from over here in England, it came from a children's program called Grange Hill that came out in the seventies and went on for several series, it was set in a school in London. They did a story line that one of the characters got into drugs and they came up the slogan just say no. It went over to America because the young actors were invited over to meet president Reagan.
I’m so scared of drugs 😂. Not the legal ones like prescription drugs, alcohol, caffeine and nicotine but all the illegal ones. In my 20s, I was engaged to a man for several years and he was a drug addict (weed and amphetamine), but I never touched anything, not once. And apart from living with an actual drug addict, I never before him or after came in contact with drugs so I’ve never been in a situation where it was offered to me 🤷♀️. And reaching a certain age, I think that if you haven’t already tried, you stop being curious about it.
I'm from the Netherlands. Hearing all this is really weird. I don't believe we have any kind of drug education over here. Just watching the news and hearing people in college talk about their experiences teaches you more than enough about the effects certain drugs have. Those police officers just tell you the very worst examples and they don't tell you that at least some drugs, like cannabis/marijuana, is safer than alcohol. The police over here even has some locations where you can get your MDMA/Ecstacy pills tested, to know if they're safe (because not all of them are safe). I personally know a lot of people who smoke weed regularly or take MDMA when going to music festivals. I think the secret is more to normalize it, than to tell children/teenagers to not do it. Because if you tell a child/teenager not to do something, it suddenly becomes very tempting for them to do it.
If you ever did an exert about drugs on portugal it would shock you even more because its forbidden to sell but not to consume because its treated as a mental issue
I don't remember drug education at school but there was alcohol education around age 14-15. A teacher would bring in a bunch of empty bottles of different booze and lecture us on how alcohol content differed and the effects it could have on you as well as emphasising how you drink things in different measures to stay safe (you can drink a pint of beer but not gin, for example). There was no bogus 'just say no' nonsense - just clear information on how to drink safely and also that you did not have to drink if you did not want to. A far more effective approach.
American here and I have a great story about crazy drug education! In my high school they had the entire school come out to the football field and sit in the stands for a fake "memorial/funeral" for an actual student who was well known and well liked. They had a wrecked car towed to the field so we could see the damage from drunk driving. After the "don't drink and drive" lecture and the "eulogy," we were put in a line to walk back into the school, where they HAD THE "DEAD" STUDENT LYING IN AM ACTUAL COFFIN! I still look back at that n just think, damn this shit is wild.
It's really a huge problem when you try to make ALL drugs to seem like something that makes you go crazy. If the kid uses something mild like cannabis after that they realize that it's not really that bad. And that makes them think that maybe the harder stuff isn't that bad either. And now we have a kid addicted to heroin
For several years I was addicted to amphetamine but as more time went by I realized it was getting less and less like speed and I stopped taking it one day in 2014 and haven't touched a drug since along with packing in smoking in 2007 it's the best thing I've ever done in my life and I'm so proud of myself
What, sign a contract as teen to not take drugs, that's just weird as hell. Our main focus was on Heroin in our schools and cannabis being a possible doorway to harder drugs when your tolerance had been built up, our drug program was influenced by Reagan. Tolerance and mixing was a big subject, albeit I do find it strange we rarely ever spoke about alcohol, as that is a massive danger as well if used carelessly, just like any other drug. Albeit, it did drastically change as I was attending school, you were no longer prosecuted for usage or possession without intent to sell, it used to be very strict, some high profiled sellers got higher sentencing than crimes that we're obviously seen as way worse, morally. In case if you were wondering, I am talking about Norway. Yes, few of us used silkroad or other onion sites, mainly bought by sellers inside the country, much hard to import in to the country, but that was no where a majority, very small minority. *Yeah, caffeine is never spoken about, ironically you also get headaches and sweat from consuming caffeine, then there is the diuretic effect, albeit this only regards to very strong coffee and I mean very strong, it's a myth otherwise.
We do so peer presure talks in uk and yea its never jail its allways medical advise they show actual cases that happened the physical and mental harm of said drugs
I grew up in the sixties and hung around with the local bikers. School was ahead of the times with this kind of thing, but the biggest impact for me was being taken to an undertaker who was dealing with an acquaintance who had, a few days prior, believed he would be ok stepping out of a third storey window, whilst on LSD. Tried it twice, supervised by a sober biker, then touched nothing but the very occasional grass spliff ever since. Have lost at least 20 school friends to drugs (both street and prescription).
I don't smoke, i don't drink alcohol (ever) and i never took any drugs (even avoid medicaments) and never had a desire to try anything and will definitley not change that.....😊
Many years ago I wasn't really aware of drugs while at school (never had any interest !). Minimal interest in alcohol and alcohol and marijuana went spectacularly badly. Apparently after I left the school, there have been issues since ! Lots of alcohol about all thru school, but projectile vomiting never appealed to me and having tried it since ! I was right, its not fun
Aussie here. They showed us a video about the dangers of PCP. There was a prisoner in a chair tied down with steel reinforced leather straps. They injected him with Angel Dust and he was breaking his bones and chewing his own face and tongue up. I was 14 when I watched this. 1985. Never tried it ever. Never been offered though either. Still has me curious but
did she say the UK doesn't have a drug Problem....loooooooooooooool. what part of the UK is she from to be sheltered that way. London doesn't get called the cocaine capital of the World for not having a drug problem lol

So well said ! Alcohol is so much more dangerous!

This is obviously quite a hyperbole, but the main idea is that if they find out you lied for one thing you might have lied about the other stuff too
For several years I was addicted to amphetamine but as more time went by I realized it was getting less and less like speed and I stopped taking it one day in 2014 and haven't touched a drug since along with packing in smoking in 2007 it's the best thing I've ever done in my life and I'm so proud of myself
We always had someone from the local football club warn us about county lines, aka recruiting and grooming kids to be drug runners lmao
Having only ever smoked weed and some grass, I never had the desire to go any harder. Watching Trainspotting cured me of a need to try heroin etc.
