Comment on Supervised Underage Drinking Still Dangerous by JS

This article gives no information about the amount of alcohol the teens are drinking with their parents or the overall attitude towards drinking and intoxication in both countries. It also mentions nothing about the number of European countries where parents introduce their children to alcohol and the responsible consumption of it, at an early age and whether there is any sign that a significant portion of these children go on to have alcohol problems in their adult lives.

The lack of this information is problematic to the results found in the study.

Comment on Drug Test Kits Made Available to Middle School Parents by John P. Slevin

Stoner to test Hempfield for drugs!

The absurdity of this lies not only in the ironically named school board president, Randy Stonter and the community of Hempfield.

However, those names and this subject certainly will draw some chuckles.

Why do some feel it is necessary to give parents this “assist”?

Parents already can choose to have their children tested for drugs. They don’t need a school program to do this. They don’t need a school administrator aligned non-profit organization, Candle.

Teach the children to read and write and show by example that personal relationships, like that between parents and children need not include school administrators at every step…and certainly it shouldn’t involve school administrators who are on a very questionable crusade.

Comment on Lawmaker Says Parents Should Drug Test Their Teens Anually by jeff

The MyTeensavers Team applauds Saladino for his efforts. After all, parents who discover that their child is using a substance, can help correct the problem. Oftentimes, a teenagers habit becomes a full blown addiction before loved ones find out. Treating the problem at that point can be difficult.

While we always encourage parents to use drug tests to help ensure that their kids are clean, there are a few problems we see with this bill. First, testing only once a year doesn’t do a whole lot. If you test your teen in January, they have another 10 months of potential substance abuse before cleaning up for the next test. The key to home drug testing is regular and random. Your teen should know that they could be tested at any time, but at no specific time. This also helps prevent a kid from possessing substitute urine or a masking agent handy.

The other problem we have with the bill is that it starts with 8th grades. 14-years-old is not the entry age for drug use. SAMHSA stats say that 2500 children experiement with drugs for the first time every day, and some of them are as young as 8-years-old. This policy would work better for children grades 6th and up. Now you are looking at 11 and 12-year-olds, who may just be experimenting with marijuana or other controlled substances. Early detection is key when trying to cutoff a growing drug problem.

We believe Saladino is working towards a great plan to help keep kids off drugs. What we are proud to see is that he responded after a series of heroin deaths in his community. Many lawmakers are not doing much to help fight this surging prescription drug/opiates/heroin problem in this country.

Whether or not the bill ever is appoved, hopefully Saladino can wake up the parents of these kids, and let them know that this threat is for real.

Comment on Montel Williams Will Open Medical Marijuana Dispensary by Nicky Agustin

Just wanted to chime in here. I'm a dispensary owner in California and have alot of friends who've opened up in the newer states. Alot of people are trying to get into the business and not knowing where to start. I too would like to see medical cannabis widely accessible have a free newsletter with free tips and tricks on how to get one open. The more we flex our rights, the more the feds will legalize access. Its a fun business also. It just shouldn't be made so damned hard to get into. My free newsletter for any that are interested is at Start A Dispensary.
