Current Drug Trends: Adolescents

In this session participants will learn to identify current trends in illicit drug use in the adolescent populations. They will also learn to recognize the difference with experimental use and escape use.

Today’s students are not just drinking beer and smoking a little weed. Are you aware of what waxing, boofing, and robotriping are? If you see writing on the bathroom stall from a student looking for Molly, they are not looking for a girl named Molly. If you were a student looking for drugs where would you try to get them?


Learning Objectives:

· To identify current trends in illicit drug use in the adolescent/adult populations.

· To recognize the difference with experimental use and escape use.

· To identify hidden drug references in clothing.
