Helping to make our community safer
Drugs
Drug use is prevalent in teenagers these days. And our community suffers from this just as much as any other community. It is important to educate yourself on the dangers of drugs. These are common drugs of abuse we see in Winder:
- Marijuana
- Crack Cocaine
- Ice Methamphetamine (Crystal Meth)
- Heroin
- Prescription pills
Marijuana puts kids at risk. It is the most widely used illicit drug among youth today and is more potent than ever. Do you know the facts about marijuana? If you're a parent, it's the first step toward raising drug-free kids.
