Most modern addicts get their start on the school grounds, not from the pusher hanging over the school fences, but from the school itself. It is there where they learn all about drugs, what they feel like, which ones are dangerous, what they look like, and how available they are. When the child decides he must experiment, he knows which one to look for, what the signs of quality are, the going prices, and he has been reassured that they are available. He knows what downers and uppers are and how to use one to offset the other. The school makes sure that the child becomes well educated in drugs. It is in fact a mantra of the educators, "Drug use is going up, therefore, we must redouble our efforts to educate the child in drugs." This is quite kin to the statement, "The fire is getting bigger, therefore, we must throw more gasoline on the fire." And besides, the child is taught, everyone is doing it.
