Many kids turn to selling drugs. It's not a good career choice, but they see it as a way to get money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When in some communities selling drugs is so lucrative that that's a pretty big enticement that we have to break down. Part of that is by making opportunities and paying decent wages.
I think the reason kids get into drugs and smoking is they don't have anything to do.
Kids are going to try drugs and alcohol; that's part of society.
Parents are key when it comes to keeping kids off drugs. Good parenting is the best anti-drug we have.
Other kids did drugs; I did crafts. I never knew where I fit in.
I used to have a drug problem, now I make enough money.
The War on Drugs employs millions - politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military - that probably couldn't find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners.
I would never want any of my kids to go into this industry; not until they are old enough to understand and if this is something that they really want to do.
I've used drugs that I do consider to be dangerous, drugs that are potentially detrimental to kids and society at large.
Drugs are in every walk of life - doctors, lawyers, preachers, the guy who works for IBM, teenagers on the street, teenagers in school.
