Well, it might as well be said, some of you are thinking about it. The same applies to guns, guns are not dangerous, and the people who carelessly misuse guns are dangerous. Drugs are not dangerous until people misuse them. That is going to be the point of this discussion.
Probably the most dangerous drug our children will encounter is curiosity and listening to peers. The need for children to experiment or whether it be for financial gain, either way, it is a growing concern regarding the misuse of drugs. So much so that there is currently a bill:
S. 258: Saving Kids From Dangerous Drugs Act of 2009 that the 111th Congress is to amend the Controlled Substance Act to provide enhanced penalties for marketing controlled substances to minors.
Here is the summary of the bill:
1/15/2009--Introduced.
Saving Kids from Dangerous Drugs Act of 2009 - Amends the Controlled Substances Act to make it unlawful for any adult (at least 18 years of age) to knowingly and intentionally manufacture, create, distribute, or dispense, or to possess with such intent, a Schedule I or II controlled substance that is: (1) combined with a candy product; (2) marketed or packaged to appear similar to a candy product; or (3) modified by flavoring or coloring with the intent to distribute, dispense, or sell it to a person under 21 years of age. Imposes enhanced criminal penalties for violations. Exempts any controlled substance that has been approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under the drug approval process or that has been altered at the direction of a medical practitioner for a legitimate medical purpose.
