Drug Awareness on the Internet

Drug and alcohol is a real problem in Canada. Police Officers deal with people facing problems that are direclty associated with drugs or alcohol. Enforcement is not enough to get rid of this social plague. The need is to deal with this problem directly at the root. The best way to do this is through education. Children and teenagers now have to face tough decision at an early age. The younger the children are educated the better they will be to understand what options they have and how they should react if ever they are confronted with a choice to make. Early education starts at home. For this reason you will find below a series of links to articles on drug awareness.
