How do you educate? I'm not sure. However, I know in Holland, where people do get a real drug-use education, they have virtually no deaths related to the drug Ecstasy (and it is a very popular drug there), whereas in North America, people are dying from it every week. It's like some people learn to drink properly, or moderately, and others don't. My folks made drinking alcohol into a real bad thing (for religious reasons) and so it became a point of rebellion for me to drink as much as possible. No one told me anything about booze except my peers and TV commercials. A couple of my peers died in drunk car accidents and one died drowning in his own booze-drug-induced vomit. I've stopped drinking for over ten years now, but I make a point with my son educating him about alcohol and talking to him about drugs, particularly solvents, which some of his peers have tried. Just say no, does not work in the real world, imo. Kids are curious, there's no way around that.
