Excellent to focus on drug and alcohol prevention for our young citizens. May I suggest inviting Rick Steves to speak on what we can do to make pot less accessible to our students. Also he could speak about the increase of car accidents since pot was legalized.
Thank you for addressing this issue with parents that may not be aware of the signs of illicit as well as licit drug’s in their children. However, I am saddened to see is this information is not extended to the children and young adults that are exposed to it on a daily basis. Substance use disorder is at an epidemic proportion in Snohomish county and beyond. To help avoid additional death’s of children and teens why not talk to them with a curriculum that addresses the truth in a series of age appropriate classes?
