This thread is for the education of our teens. I don't think it is suitable for smaller kids to view the videos. As our teens go out into the world they will be faced with many trials. Teach them the dangers now so that they will be prepared.

As defended by the Supreme Court, parents have the fundamental constitutional right to direct the education of their children according to their beliefs (Wisconsin vs. Yoder [1972]). A right exercised is a right preserved (Acts 22:25-29).

Don't get sucked in by peer pressure of any "friends" who may try to get you to try it.

Mom and Dad 'Denial spells Disaster'

Christian parents do not allow yourselves to be lulled into the mind set that your child wouldn't/couldn't possibly engage in drug use. Because as long as satan is stalking the earth seeking whom he can devour, it's possible. Don't assume since your child knows the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Saviour and is fairly grounded in the Word that he/she is immune to the temptation of experimentation which in this case scenario may well lead to a quick dependency.

Crystal Methamphetamine aka Ice or Glass is a drug in a class all of it's own when it comes to getting high. This enhancement drug made in home labs across the U.S. when taken by mouth, snorted, injected or smoked, produces an intense pleasure which is difficult to imagine or describe. When releasing excessive amounts of the brain’s reward chemical called dopamine this drug generates a euphoria-bliss state lasting longer than the all popular drug cocaine. Consequently, giving up this highly addictive central-nervous-system stimulant is more than difficult. Many never pull themselves out because recovery is such a fierce daily battle. For the Christian the battle is even more brutal and the first step toward any kind of recovery is Prayer, Prayer, Prayer! And then? Pray some more

Faces Of Meth Addiction

WARNING SIGNS OF METH USE

Meth users will exhibit numerous signs of use, the most obvious of which are hyperactivity, incessant talking, and wakefulness. The drug produces a false sense of confidence in the user. Users will often have a loss of appetite and become extremely irritable and moody. Prolonged meth abuse can resemble symptoms of schizophrenia characterized by hallucinations, paranoia, and repetitive behavior patterns. Abusers develop delusions of insects under the skin known as "speed bugs" or "meth bugs," which cause the user to pick at the skin incessantly resulting in open lesions. As the effects of the drug wear off, users may experience drug cravings, depressed moods, lethargy, and prolonged periods of sleep lasting 24 hours or more.
