How
old were you when you began drinking? How old were
you when you first smoked marijuana? According to a
Logan County survey taken in 2012, seven percent of
all eighth graders that year admitted they drank at
age 13 and nine percent admitted they smoked pot at
age 13. That same year, only 1 percent of
12th-graders admitted to drinking and only five
percent admitted to smoking pot. Why the drop?
Because kids who start doing drugs at age 13 are
more likely to drop out of school before reaching
the 12th grade than those who do not drink and do
drugs. For many children experimenting with drugs
and alcohol is truly the beginning of the end of
their lives, as these are the same children who
spend time in prison, lose hope for a bright future,
and die of drug overdoses. Today LDN will feature
part one of a two-part series on a group in Logan
County that is preparing to wage war on drug
addiction in general, and heroin use specifically,
for the sake of our children.
