Well, a few months later, the younger boy found his older brother dead from a heroin OD. Believe me, I took no pleasure in being 'right' about this situation, but I knew that I had done the right thing. I made my son go to the viewing, so that he could see the reality of an 18 y.o. kid, dead, in his casket. Did it stop the pot smoking? No...but I certainly hope that somehow, a lesson was learned, and that prayerfully, nothing 'harder' will be experimented with. My point with this long-winded epistle? Parents, trust your instincts and don't be afraid to say "NO".
I lost a close friend this past Thanksgiving to heroin/MSContin. The kid had been in rehab twice and was in therapy twice a week. He was on a ton of psych meds he wasn't even taking. All I hope for now is that in his next life he can find the peace that so escaped him in this one. He was the closest person to me that had ever died in my short 24 years on this planet.
Two people at the funeral (at least) were heroin addicts- both were recently in jail but are walking the streets again and are still heavily into heroin.
The people at the funeral who were just casual pot smokers and weekend drinkers still continue to do that. I think they are unlikely to touch something stronger- once reality hits you in the face like that, it is a real wakeup call. Maybe for the few who were going to go on to stronger drugs anyway will have his memory brought back to them in vivid color before making that choice.
I still think the D.A.R.E. program is ridiculous- a junky who has been there and is real should come to the school, not a cop. I've explained this already, so I won't go into it again- but kids need some REAL drug education. Not the lies and propaganda they get with D.A.R.E. Give kids something to be afraid of, not something they're supposed to be afraid of but laugh at instead.
