      Oh definitely! Education is the most important tool we have to keep ourselves and our families safe.

      I think everyone should understand the effects and dangers of all drugs (and not necessarily just the health dangers, there are dangerous people involved in this too) so that if or when they are in a position to make the choice of whether or not to take a drug, they know exactly what they are doing.

      Young people are so important (you are literally the future), and we shouldn’t leave you guys to get into these situations without lots of information to help you figure out what you are going to do- or without the information to help your friends.
