What're some outrageous ways to battle drug abuse in teens?
I'm doing a satirical sarcastic outrageous presentation proposal on social issues like teenage drug alcohol abuse, and need some satirical sarcastic outrageous solutions to this problem. The solution has to be as disgusting, inhumane, and unethical as possible my teacher grades on the class' reaction, which is meant to be one of outrage disgust . This is NOT to be taken seriously, it's supposed to be outrageous, so no " sit down and talk with the teens" or " interventions" . Something like " inject teens with a chemical that will kill them if they ever take drugs" kind of thing. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

What is up with the world's drug abuse regulations?
The media has portrayed such a horrific image towards drug use, and frankly, I'm sick and tired of it. Healthcare professionals have poisoned many with the idea that the occasional drug use is a bad thing. If you were to tell someone that you do drugs they automatically think you are a bad influence. I hate that $hit... I am 18 years old and I've been doing Percocet Oxycodone for a year now and I can honestly say that it has changed my life for the better. It has brought me a lot of joy and happiness. I am a better person. Oxycodone is a very powerful analgesic with remarkable anxiolytic and anti depressive properties. I believe that if one can control a drug habit then it's fine. I've been doing two 5mg Percocets Watson 749 once a week usually on Saturdays for a year now and I am convinced that addiction isn't a concern. No tolerance has been built and if I were to discontinue the habit i will not go through withdrawals obviously . Everytime time I do it I get this strong euphoric feeling. It's the best stress reliever in my opinion. Another reason why I do it is because it's so cheap. I can get my hands on 10mgs of Oxycodone for 5 dollars. I think it's an amazing investment. Five dollars for 4 hours of bliss is totally worth it. Forty dollars can be easily spent if i go out somewhere with someone. So yea, to me it just seems logical and economical to consume Percocet once a week. I live with my two parents and our income is less than 30,000 dollars. If it wasn't for food stamp and the government we'd be screwed. If someone can maintain a strict drug use schedule then I say go for it. That said, I am nowhere near a bad influence. I am always helping out others. My friends and many other people tell me that i am a great influence they just don't like my habit . I graduated high school recently and I was top 15 in my class. I'm going to attend a University soon and i will be studying medicine... What are your thoughts on drug abuse? The regulations and laws? What should be changed? What do you think about what I'm doing? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you

Seniors, how widespread is prescription drug abuse among our peers?
A few years ago when hubby had his hip replacement, then his knees, he was given pain relievers for awhile, one was Vicodin, the other I can't really remember what it was, it may have been Tylenol w codeine, but I know it wasn't Oxycontin. The second one didn't work too well, and that's when he got the Vicodin. He dislikes both of them because they make him feel " wacky" as he calls it, and he quit taking them as soon as he could. I was working then and made the mistake of telling some of my coworkers that we had some of this stuff left over, and you would not believe the offers I got to take them " off my hands" . I don't have moral scruples about it and probably would have sold them but I was more afraid of doing something illegal and ended up throwing them away. The reason I bring this up is because I saw a story on the news this morning about an elderly woman whose pain relievers were disappearing and she knew she hadn't been taking that many. She put a hidden camera in her living room and found that a neighbor, a friend of hers no less, was coming into her house while she was gone, lifting pills from the bottle, then wiping her fingerprints off with her shirt. What do you think of this? My coworkers who wanted to buy these were both around my age at the time, late 50's probably.

Can I be the Poster Child for Drug Abuse?
I fit the profile perfectly, look at my resume this is all in the past 2 years...short time span Drugs I've done DAILY smoker of weed for the entire two year span Ecstasy multiple times Shrooms multiple times Xanax multiple times Cocaine 3 times LSD twice Sizzurp half a bottle of prometh codeine cough syrup mixed with sprite and a jolly rancher twice Nutmeg not illegal, but I was high for 24 straight hours...adds to my argument since only true drug abusers know that you can get high off of nutmeg, only once Daily prescription for adderall I only take half and sell the other half and obviously alcohol underage and MANY times NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I SMOKED A CIG THO I don't want to get cancer, I just want to get high and see unicorns dragons And when you put up the poster that says " Don't do drugs like this guy did my pic with me looking sad ...it will ruin your life..."

ER HEM DRUGS ARE BAD Don't forget " Ben S... I'm glad you made that point, just so you know, I would never tell anyone to do this stuff, you have to decide for yourself whether or not you want to do it...also I have never in my life done a drug without first researching the main effects of the drug, effective dose, the LD50, side effects, signs of OD, how to administer it safely, what to check for to see if it is contaminated and MOST IMPORTANTLY the contraindictions of the drug i.e. effects of mixing it with other drugs substances, for example DO NOT EVER mix Sizzurp with alcohol, even one beer could kill you if you had just drank Sizzurp . BTW, out of the group I named I hold Cigarettes to be infinitely more harmful than all the others
