We finally have abandoned abstinence-based SEX ED in schools. When we realized that kids are going to fuck even if you tell them not to and we might as well minmize the unwanted pregnancies as much as we can using the most effective tool to address those kids that are going to fuck anyways even though the parents tell them not to.
Until drug education comes from adults (the school, the government, parents) that addresses the kids that are going to still take drugs despite being told not to....ppl will die needlessly. Highschool kids aren't going to listen to one of their peers when it comes to drugs....but a qualified educator (Dr. or whatever) or trusted parent could really get through to them.
The question is: when will we start educating our children on drugs beyond saying just abstain from all drugs always and forever....just like we did with sex.
its fun to watch social evolution, we're so slow....we're all gonna have a good laugh over this one day 300 years from now.
