Why do people need drugs of any kind at all ? Young people or otherwise. I do not think that making them legal or illegal will make much difference except in terms of price and increasing organized drug criminal gangs etc. It does not address the reasons why drug use is on the increase or why people need any kind of mood altering substances just to live. I think it comes down to children being overstimulated and having too much excitement when they are very young and continue craving that feeling again on a subconscious level. They need to be taught to relax and appreciate the value of quiet time at a young age and not gto need to be gizzed up all the time. Real life is not like this. Tyhey is great pleasurein simple things. Wjy is there this constant need to ecape ones own feelings ? I have had my share of life's traumas and stresses and shocks and depression at times, yet still have no need to keep looking for highs ! I am not talking from the viewpoint of someone who has had a easy life by any means, as that is not the case, but I do believe young people are simply not taught to appreciate what is around them and be content with that. There are natural highs or should I say "Joys" and simple pleasures all around !
