Children across the country are being bombarded with choices that we wish they would never have to make. But the reality is that some of the most dangerous drugs are readily available in our own medicine cabinets in our own homes. Parents need to know about the items available to their children in their homes, as well as the homes of others. Take a look at the website at http://srslychelsea.org/facts.html for more information about the dangers of these substances and tips for children and parents toward avoiding the substances effectively without straining interpersonal relationships.

There are synthetic drugs that are marketed and sold as herbal incense across the United States, including Michigan, Jackson County, and online. They are being touted as “legal pot” or “fake weed”. They are carrying product names such as K2, Spice, Blaze, and Black Mamba. They were not intended for human consumption, but have found their way onto the market because kids can use them to get high and they are very difficult to detect in typical drug tests. Even though they are now illegal in Michigan, marketers continue to create new forms of the drug. Parents need to become familiar with the dangers these drugs present to their children. Click here to understand where the drug came from, how it is marketed, and what is being done to prevent its distribution. This is a large file. If you have problems opening it, call 522-5544 or e-mail dmoeckel@grasslakeschools.com and a copy will be sent to you.
